Established by Shanghai Zendai Group in 2005, the Himalayas Museum (formerly known as Shanghai Zendai MoMA) is a privately-funded, non-profit art institute focusing on art exhibition, education, collection, research and academic exchanges. With vision and an open mind, the museum plays an active role in promoting cultural and art developments, exploring new patterns for museums in the context of the contemporary society, discovering new art forces, and promoting communication and collaboration between China and abroad and among different disciplines to showcase and interpret eastern values and spirit with a contemporary touch.
Located at the Himalayas Center, a new landmark in Shanghai designed by Arata Isozaki, the new site of the museum was open to public in 2012. Boasting world-class facilities and the highest level of expertise, the museum is committed to furthering the development of art in terms of both breadth and depth, to making art more accessible to the general public and to cultivating a new generation of audiences.
Shanghai Himalayas Museum aims to carve out an open platform to better communicate with artists, institutes and the public both at home and abroad, and to search for new possibilities within the new global context. To achieve this goal, in addition to the close attention paid to Chinese art and culture scene, the museum attaches particular importance to cross-country cultural and art exchanges. Since the establishment in 2005, the museum has presented around 60 international art and cultural exchange projects.
Since 2011, the museum has presented a series of international art projects including “Designing Design / The Exhibition of Kenya Hara in China 2011”, “Tony Cragg: Sculptures and Drawings”, Ink Art Exhibition Series, “Ateliers – Ofer Lellouche Solo Exhibition” , “2014 John Moores Painting Prize (China) Exhibition”, solo exhibitions of Sean Scully and Michael Craig-Martin, “DunHuang-Song of Living Beings”, Shanghai Project, “Miracle: The Bellini Family and the Renaissance” .
