History
History
The museum opened in 2011, in a building designed by the architect Liu Jiakun. Construction of the museum was funded by Chengdu High-Tech Zone Investment Co. Ltd., a state-owned company. The museum's first director was the art historian, critic and curator Lü Peng. By 2014, the museum still did not have a display of its permanent collection, but had opened its gallery for temporary exhibitions of modern art and photographic art. The museum has hosted exhibitions from Asian artists and retrospectives of Western artists including: Tony Cragg, Michael Pinsky and Picasso. The museum collaborated with the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris to show the works of Dominique Gonzalez–Foerster, Douglas Gordon, Pierre Huyghe, Ange Leccia and Philippe Parreno.
