Datong Art Museum ? an important new cultural destination in China ? has opened to the public with a special exhibition featuring oil paintings by local artists. One of four major buildings within Datong New City?s cultural plaza, it is set to become a new hub for creative industries in the region. The building?s sculptural form has been conceived as a landscaped terrain with a series of interconnected pyramids emerging from below the earth ? the gallery spaces are sunken below ground and surrounded by landscaped plazas. Complementing the museum?s cultural programme are a series of spaces dedicated to education and learning, including a children?s gallery, media library, archive and art storage facilities.
