With a total construction area of 28,000 square meters, it is built by the lake. The building features a simple and elegant exterior with a strong modern flair. Its interior facilities are comprehensive, offering spaces for both permanent and temporary exhibitions as well as areas for public education and cultural leisure.

Together with other cultural institutions in the Cultural Square area—such as the Tianjin Museum, Tianjin Grand Theater, Tianjin Library, and Tianjin Natural History Museum—it forms a landmark cultural complex in the city.

　　Thanks to its affiliation with the Tianjin Museum, the Tianjin Art Museum started with a considerable collection. Its holdings of modern and contemporary artworks are extensive, ranking among the top in domestic art museums of the same level. As a comprehensive art museum integrating collection, research, aesthetic education promotion, and the display of both modern and contemporary art, the Tianjin Art Museum also fosters an immersive gallery experience through various public service facilities, including an auditorium, seminar rooms, library reading rooms, art studios, a café, and an art shop. These efforts maximize the museum’s functions in exhibition, research, education, and cultural leisure. The museum serves not only as a place that extends the life of artworks and a platform for artists to showcase their creations, but also as a window for the public to appreciate high art, enhance the city’s overall image, and promote urban civilization.

　　Tianjin Art Museum is committed to building a knowledge-based and academic art museum while also focusing on expanding its public welfare and social functions, promoting cultural and artistic exchanges between China and abroad, and becoming a modern art museum with significant influence nationwide.
