About
Located in the subterranean levels of the K11 Art Mall in central Shanghai, chi K11 art museum opened in 2013 as a 3,000-square-meter non-profit art space. Founded by Adrian Cheng, the museum is the cornerstone of the K11 brand's "Art x Commerce" philosophy. By integrating a professional museum environment directly into a luxury retail destination, it democratizes access to contemporary art, welcoming over a million visitors annually and fostering an "artistic playground" where creative potential is accessible to the general public.
The museum is renowned for its high-profile international collaborations with institutions such as the Palais de Tokyo, Centre Pompidou, and MoMA PS1. Its programming focuses on cross-cultural dialogue, presenting masterworks by Claude Monet and Salvador Dalí alongside avant-garde emerging talent. Through its rigorous exhibition schedule and extensive public workshops, chi K11 art museum acts as a vital incubator for indigenous culture while maintaining a global perspective within Shanghai’s historic Huaihai Road district.
