Beijing Auto Museum

Beijing Auto Museum

The Beijing Auto Museum is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

The Auto Museum is located on the South Fourth Ring West Road in the southwest of Fengtai District, with a total construction area of approximately 50,000 square meters. It features 13 exhibition zones, 44 thematic displays, over 50 interactive exhibits, and a collection of more than 80 display vehicles.

The Auto Museum is the landmark building and core facility of the Beijing International Auto Expo Center, with a construction area of approximately 49,000 square meters. It includes functional exhibition areas such as auto exhibitions, themed displays, automotive science popularization, auto entertainment, and academic exchanges. The exhibits on floors five to three of the museum are structured around three main themes: history, technology, and the future. The internal layout of the museum is innovative, emphasizing knowledge, participation, and entertainment. Through a variety of formats—static and dynamic, flat and three-dimensional, 3D and other forms, as well as sound and visual media—it engages visitors visually, aurally, and tactilely to educate and inspire. This helps audiences understand the history and evolution of modern automobiles, and further appreciate the characteristics and essence of automotive technology and culture. It provides a space for science education, environmental awareness, and the stimulation of creativity and ambition among young people. On one hand, it showcases automotive technology and culture from different eras through a large number of exhibits, including cars, auto accessories, auto art, and a wide range of auto derivatives from various historical periods in China and abroad. On the other hand, it demonstrates the endless charm and fun of automotive technology through numerous educational, participatory, and entertaining activities.

To the south of the museum lies a scenic architectural complex with pleasant surroundings. The theme park is surrounded by a water-formed interface, featuring undulating terrain and large bodies of water that create a striking contrast, forming a charming landscape of lakes and rolling hills. Various methods are used to enhance the theme of a "corridor of time and space."

The entire park consists of a network of main roads and auxiliary pathways, along with ingeniously integrated brand exhibition halls for various car manufacturers. The interwoven main roads and smaller paths, together with the exhibition halls, define the basic structure of Central Park. This structure forms the framework of the exhibition halls as an organic whole, and the resulting topography gives each brand's exhibition hall its unique position and character. The dramatically shaped landscape garden will become a place of continuous, gentle movement and quiet contemplation. At the same time, it also serves as a stage for various changing events and activities.

The brand exhibition halls are harmoniously integrated into the park's landscape, which features water bodies and undulating terrain. These halls showcase the diversity of brands and cultures of global automobile manufacturers. This is a place for legendary automotive stories, forming a unified structure applicable to each brand hall. Each brand hall, occupied by a renowned car manufacturer, should serve as a venue for the company to present its own national culture, values, and corporate philosophy.

The central green space complements the iconic Auto Museum to the north, creating a harmonious architectural landscape where art and the technological era coexist. The architectural ensemble of the automotive age is perfectly expressed here.

The construction of the Beijing International Auto Expo Center and the Auto Museum fills a gap in Beijing and even the nation. As a carrier of cultural creativity and technological innovation, the potential for industrial growth is boundless, and it will also drive the development of a series of related industries. The Fengtai District Government will take the opportunity of the Auto Expo Center's preparation to engage in extensive communication and cooperation with all sectors. With the sincere collaboration and unremitting efforts of all parties, the Beijing International Auto Expo Center project will surely generate significant social and economic benefits, becoming a leading international and top-tier capital hub for automotive culture, consumption, and industry information.
