Tianfu Art Park
天府艺术公园
A lakeside art park in Jinniu District where the Chengdu Art Museum (Tianfu Art Museum) and the Chengdu Museum of Contemporary Art stand beside the water, their architecture reflected in the lake.
Tianfu Art Park is in Jinniu District and combines a lake, wetlands and art venues. Its centerpiece is the Chengdu Art Museum (Tianfu Art Museum) and the Chengdu Museum of Contemporary Art, both opened in 2021. The buildings are said to draw inspiration from “bronze masks” and “Han dynasty bricks and stone,” and they regularly host domestic and international art exhibitions. The paths along the lake are wide and open, and the buildings’ reflections in the water are at their best at sunset. Entry to the park is free, and some exhibitions are free while special shows charge admission. The museums close on Mondays. Get off at a nearby station on Metro Line 6 and walk. You can pair it with Chengdu Happy Valley on the same day.
Opening hours
Park open all day; venues 09:00–17:00, closed Mondays
