About Dalian Art Museum
Its elaborate European-style exterior is a landmark, but the present structure includes substantial late-twentieth-century rebuilding. Inside, changing exhibitions present local and visiting artists rather than one fixed display that every visitor will see. The building and its current show make a compact combination, followed by a look at the surrounding Shengli Street townscape.
What to look for
- The shipping-company building's reconstructed European-style façade and roofline.
- The current art exhibition, selected from the museum's programme of local and visiting artists.
The surrounding area
Southern coastal city base with a specific waterfront focus around Xinghai Bay, Xinghai Square and selected Binhai Road walking sections. The Changshan Islands require an additional island travel plan.
