- Company Name: Aurora Museum
- Industry: Cultural and Artistic Industry (Private Art Museum and Art Collection Institution)
- Brief History: Aurora Museum was officially founded in October 2013 by Mr. Chen Yongtai, Chairman of Aurora Group, in Lujiazui, Pudong, Shanghai. It is an important practice of the Aurora Group's philosophy of "giving back to society through culture." Its predecessor was the Aurora Museum (established in 2003), which later became an independent art museum to expand into the field of contemporary art. The venue was designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, continuing his signature style of exposed concrete and light-shadow aesthetics.
- Products or Services: Aurora Museum focuses on contemporary art from China and Asia, promoting dialogue between art and the public through curated thematic exhibitions, solo exhibitions of artists, academic forums, and public education projects. The museum space is approximately 2,000 square meters, featuring permanent and special exhibition areas, and collaborates with domestic and international art institutions to carry out cross-cultural projects.
- Key Achievements: Since its opening, Aurora Museum has hosted exhibitions of important contemporary Chinese artists, including Zhou Chunya, Zhang Wang, Yang Fudong, and Ding Yi, and launched influential group exhibitions such as "Containers of Time" and "Landscape Society." As one of the cultural landmarks in Lujiazui, Shanghai, the museum has not only enriched the city's public cultural space but also contributed to the international dissemination of Chinese contemporary art through systematic collection and research, becoming a successful model for enterprises to establish private art museums.
