About UCCA Dune Art Museum

OPEN Architecture arranged the interior as connected, cave-like rooms reached through a dark entrance passage. Skylights and openings towards the sea make each gallery feel different, so the building remains part of the experience as exhibitions change. A visit is most rewarding when it includes time to adjust between the enclosed concrete spaces and the bright coast outside, rather than treating the museum only as a photography stop.

What to look for

  • The entrance passage opening into the larger gallery spaces.
  • The varied skylights and sea-framing openings within the sand-covered building.

Getting to UCCA Dune Art Museum

Use UCCA沙丘美术馆 in Aranya's Gold Coast community on the Changli coastline. The operator markets the location as Beidaihe Aranya Gold Coast.
