About M WOODS
M WOODS MUSEUMS is one of China’s
largest and most prominent contemporary art museums. M WOODS presents a year-round programme of exhibitions, performances, live events and talks across two museum sites in Beijing. M WOODS 798, is housed
in a former munitions factory in Beijing’s 798 Art District, and the newly
inaugurated M WOODS Hutong, is situated in the M WOODS Art Community located in
the city’s historical Dongcheng District. Attracting over five hundred thousand
visitors each year, M WOODS was
formally granted official heritage museum qualifications by The National Bureau
of Cultural Heritage in China (博物馆资质), allowing the museum to present and host
the most important Chinese cultural artefacts and relics alongside contemporary art.

Founded in 2014 by collectors Lin Han and
Wanwan Lei, M WOODS received its official
not-for-profit status in China in 2015 as an acknowledgement
of its cultural services to the public. In 2019, Victor Wang joined the museum as M
WOODS’ first Artistic Director and Chief Curator. The museum’s emphasis is on presenting new
and historical art by Chinese and international artists,
often by those who have rarely or never had a solo
exhibition in a Chinese institution. M WOODS has presented the
first institutional solo exhibitions in Beijing by artists such as Man Ray, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yinka Shonibare CBE, Bruce Nauman, David Hockney, Lu Yang, Richard Tuttle, Nicolas Party, Liang Shaoji, Austin Lee, Cristof Yvoré and Paul McCarthy, amongst
others, and collaborates with international museums such as Tate Modern,
London, and the British
Museum, U.K. to present unique
experiences and exhibitions for a local audience.

The M WOODS collection is dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and expanding beyond the traditional narrow definitions of art to encompass diverse cultural positions, with work by artists such as Kader Attia and Danh Võ to Buddhist sculptors from the Northern Qi Dynasty, and from contemporary work by Olafur Eliasson and Yang Fudong, for instance, to that of a “Follower of Hieronymus Bosch”.
Remaining dynamic and experimental, at the core of M WOODS is the idea that art should be ‘Free, Alchemical, and Timeless’ (FAT).
