No. 7, Daxue Road, is a "high gate courtyard" surrounded by yellow tiles and red walls, a pavilion and palace surrounded by the former residences of celebrities. This outstanding architectural complex, which was built in the 1930s, will open its own new history in a few days after experiencing the changes of the original "Wanzihui", the former Qingdao Municipal Library, and the former Qingdao Municipal Museum. —On June 15, 2006, an independent Qingdao Art Museum will be officially opened here, marking the beginning of its growth.

Since 2002, with the economic development, the art market has expanded rapidly, promoting the radial development of fine arts and art undertakings across the country. Colleges and universities have established fine arts academies one after another, and various cultural and artistic exhibitions have increased significantly. At that time, although the art museum affiliated to the Qingdao Cultural Expo Center actively held some influential art exhibitions, at the same time, various small and medium-sized exhibition venues in our city also "diverted" the increasing number of art activities. However, more and more influential professional and comprehensive exhibitions have put forward increasingly higher requirements for the facilities and independent operation of art exhibition halls.

As a result, with the joint efforts of relevant parties, the establishment of a professional art museum with independent identity, high-level facilities and good development planning in Qingdao was quickly put on the agenda and Put it into practice. According to Hao Qi, deputy director of the Qingdao Municipal Art Museum, “The original site of the Municipal Museum was vacant at that time, waiting for functional renewal. It is adjacent to the university district and surrounded by many former residences of celebrities. It is Qingdao’s traditional cultural center. The time and location are favorable, and No. 7 Daxue Road is here. The 'old house' that is more than 70 years old has been determined as the home of the new Qingdao Municipal Art Museum. ”

The newly registered Qingdao Municipal Art Museum determined its own location at the beginning of its construction. High standards and long-term planning. In terms of functions, it has expanded from flat exhibitions to hold various three-dimensional exhibitions, including modern art exhibitions, sculpture exhibitions, installation exhibitions and comprehensive design exhibitions. It not only fills the gap of no independent professional art museum in Qingdao, but also becomes a long-term museum. A modern art exhibition hall with development space.

“Our lighting, exhibition panels, temperature control and other systems are the best in the province.” Hao Qi is very confident in the museum’s hardware facilities. “Not only these, but also the security measures are first-rate, including camera surveillance, Fire prevention, anti-theft, etc. are all equipped with current advanced means."

Because it is an "old house" that has been in use for more than 70 years, it has been officially approved by the State Council as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. In the improvement of functions, a new topic has been raised for the art museum: not only to protect the original structure, but also to integrate modern facilities organically. “After many investigations and discussions, we finally came up with the best solution from a professional perspective.” Xue Bo from the exhibition department of the museum said, “For example, for a large number of exhibition panels, we adopted a movable track suspension design, which can be combined at will. , divide the space, and push all the display panels to the warehouse to free up space when holding three-dimensional exhibitions of design and installations.”

The “old house” also reflects its “unique advantage.” In the grand palace-style exhibition hall in the middle, Hao Qi pointed to the 7-meter-high display rack and said: "Exhibition boards of this height are enough to handle most large-scale two-dimensional works. Old houses have the advantages of old houses. This kind of space height changes from the plane From three-dimensional to three-dimensional, various creative techniques and different categories of art works can be displayed, which will make other art exhibition halls jealous!”

On the occasion of the opening of the museum, the National Art Museum of China The "2006 Chinese Painter Nomination Exhibition" hosted by Qingdao Municipal People's Government and organized by Qingdao Art Museum and Qingdao Flower and Bird Painting Research Institute will be held at the same time. Holding such a high-level exhibition is not only a celebration, but also a gesture of the new Qingdao Art Museum. "From the day we open the museum, we have to set our own height in the art world. In layman's terms, there must be a 'threshold.'" Hao Qi said that this "Nomination Exhibition" is a weathervane. Since then, a number of high-level art exhibitions from provinces, cities, the country and even many regions around the world will be gradually launched. "Although the museum has not officially opened, our exhibitions have been scheduled until October this year."

Large-scale art exhibitions During the exhibition period and during the period, the Municipal Art Museum will also intersperse some small exhibitions, including personal calligraphy and painting, thematic art works from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and invitational exhibitions of works by some domestic famous artists. All of these, the museum will comprehensively consider the artistic impact, academic value and other aspects, and carry out "high threshold" control.

"Professional exhibitions require a 'high threshold', but the 'threshold' for the general public must be lowered. We even have a 'zero threshold' for special groups such as the elderly and students." Hao Qi explained, "After all, it is a public welfare The organization must be service-oriented. This kind of service awareness must be innovative. Now we have considered setting up copying areas for art academies and art lovers, and opening tea rooms, book bars, etc. outside the exhibition area to provide all-round services to the audience.

”

For art institutions and art workers who come to hold exhibitions, the Municipal Art Museum will also provide professional follow-up services, including providing a creative studio, arranging release and reception activities in the central “patio”, and Setting up leisure areas, etc., will make them feel at home. Ou Yumin, deputy secretary of the Municipal Art Museum, said that the Municipal Art Museum is positioned to build a permanent art institution and “will strive to create more expression and development for Qingdao’s art creation team in the future. To make the art museum an important platform for communication in the art world, a good sense of service is the fundamental guarantee. ”

At the end of 2013, Qingdao Art Museum joined hands with Shandong Collection Network to launch “Qingdao Art Museum—Never-Ending Art Exhibition”, making full use of the advantages of the online platform to expand the influence of the art museum and better serve the Qingdao art undertaking.
