The Pool by X Museum
The Pool by X Museum is a collaborative project between X Museum and Taikoo Li Qiantan, open to the public since March 2024. 'The Pool' takes its name from X Museum's lobby space '广池 (Guang Chi)’, a metonymy for 'assembly' or 'place for gathering.’ Continuing X Museum’s mission to support and celebrate emerging artists’ new ideas and cultural diversities, The Pool by X Museum commissions site-specific works from artists as well as cultural producers across various disciplines. The project aims to create an inclusive space for the new generation of artists and local communities.

Beijing Venue Information
X Museum's venue spans a total area of approximately 3,000 square meters, designed by the architectural team at Studio NOR. Fully renovated from its existing structure, the new venue allows ample space for public activities and engagements. Anchored on the design concept of a "playful valley" which leverages the abundant natural light bestowed upon the original structure, the architectural studio has crafted an immersive environment which offers the visitors an outdoor-like exhibition experience. Providing an alternative site for artistic intervention, the exterior facade of the museum features an array of strategically placed "art frames" to allow flexible use.
