National Museum of China
gmp Architekten (2011 expansion) · Beijing, China · 2011
The National Museum of China brings an extensive museum programme into a monumental civic setting beside Tiananmen Square. A major contemporary expansion reorganized galleries and circulation within the historic architectural composition. The project offers a clear example of how a large existing national institution can be transformed while retaining its outward civic identity. Visiting: General museum entry is free but reservation and identification requirements apply. Verify the current booking process before visiting.
