About
Founded in 2014 by collectors Lin Han and Wanwan Lei, M WOODS is a non-profit art institution that has redefined the independent museum model in Beijing. Originally housed in a repurposed munitions factory in the 798 Art District, it has since expanded to a second location in the historic Longfusi area. The museum is defined by its "global-local" philosophy, exhibiting a diverse range of works from ancient Buddhist sculptures to cutting-edge digital media. Its mission is to make art accessible to a younger, digitally-native audience while maintaining rigorous academic standards.
M WOODS has gained international acclaim for its high-profile solo exhibitions featuring global icons such as David Hockney, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Andy Warhol. By blending world-class curation with a lifestyle-oriented approach—often integrating fashion, music, and design—the museum has become a critical catalyst for cultural rejuvenation in Beijing. As a "museum without walls," it continues to foster a dynamic environment where history and the avant-garde coexist, encouraging a new generation of collectors and enthusiasts to engage with art as a lived experience.
