📍Located in Tianmuli, I love the aesthetic here. 🌟BY ART MATTERS Tianmuli Museum, an "art event generator," offers a different way to understand art for this park where thousands of people work and live together—as well as for the public—and to experience urban life that connects nature, art, architecture, and culture. Situated between the scenic spots of Xixi Wetland and West Lake, with green trees and distant mountains as its backdrop, the museum exudes a sense of timeless tranquility. 🌟Tsutaya Bookstore: Enjoy a quiet moment with a book and a cup of coffee in this tangible "space-time gallery." 🌟Ishinomaki Laboratory: This solid wood furniture store features a charming bird 🐦 speaker inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. Give it a tap, and it will "sing." 🌟Yamachi: This outdoor shop also serves delicious lunches. Tianmuli is a great place to visit in Hangzhou, besides its natural beauty. It's a real perk for those of us who live here.

#2024TravelReview Hangzhou Tianmuli Art Museum is located in a quiet corner in the bustling city. With its modern architectural beauty and artistic atmosphere, it has become a spiritual habitat for culture lovers. The museum displays a variety of art works, including paintings, sculptures and installation art. Each exhibit dances with light and shadow in the space, inspiring the viewer's infinite imagination. The architectural design of the art museum is also worth careful appreciation. Its use of geometric lines and natural light creates a very modern art space. The museum is surrounded by lush green landscapes. Walking among them, you feel like you are in a dreamland where nature and art blend together. With its exquisite exhibitions and elegant environment, Tianmuli Art Museum has become an excellent place for Hangzhou art lovers to explore creativity and appreciate aesthetics.

🌹In order to expand children's horizons during the summer vacation, artistic education has become an indispensable choice for us. The art gallery, this place full of artistic atmosphere, is the best place for us to pursue the charm of art. 🎨Although the heat is oppressive in the hot summer, the cool environment in the art museum allows us to immerse ourselves in the ocean of art. Every visit to an exhibition is an etiquette training for children, allowing them to learn to keep quiet in public and respect every work of art. 🎈I took my kids to Tianmuli Art Museum on the weekend to visit a new exhibition - Ancient Props Bantian Your and My Choice It is an ancient props exhibition worth watching carefully🤫 The exhibition displays ancient props from different eras and countries. Mr. Sakata has collected them from all over the world over the past 50 years. Everything has its own beauty~ Even the neglected and abandoned objects in daily life can be beautiful. In addition to the exhibition halls on the 1st and 6th floors, and the library on the 4th floor, in addition to reading, there are also parent-child interactions. Today is a storytelling session and clay making ~ It can stimulate children's artistic perception, imagination and hands-on ability ~ There are summer camp activities during the summer vacation~ During the hot holidays, it is also a good choice to go to the art museum to take your kids out😇

Zhang Tianyi has created an "artificial nectary organ" for sweet peppers that lack extrafloral nectaries, as a reward for ants, establishing a cross-species symbiotic ecosystem, and exploring ecological management to prevent pests and diseases. Through this 'ecological symbiosis theater between animals and plants', the methods of biological pest control are discussed. Weng Zueying's moss tent is modeled after the style of Native American teepees. At the entrance, there is a diary of a Native American girl, full of interest. They have been lying in moss cradles since childhood, and during menstruation, moss can serve as sanitary pads. The indigenous people also use local materials, stuffing moss into the gaps of their huts. Jian Guorong from Chongzuo is attempting to address the issue with eucalyptus trees. Eucalyptus was once seen as a solution to environmental disasters and ecological crises but is now regarded as a 'water pump', a 'green desert', becoming an 'invasive species'. The ancient banyan trees are often the 'contract trees' of the Zhuang children. Children belonging to the fire element who are weak and sickly can take the banyan tree as their 'contract father' or 'contract mother'. Since wood generates fire, the banyan tree will protect the child and help them grow into adulthood.

Artist Zhou Meng's solo exhibition 'Beyond the Dust', has landed at the R PLUS Gallery in Tianmuli. It is a fragment of the infinite cycle of life, a station in the reincarnation of the river of life, where dancing spirits wander between dreams and reality. Zhou Meng's creations draw inspiration from myths and folklore of different regions. Within the textures of different stories, he layers generations of people and their living environments within cosmic time, witnessing the rise and fall of human communities and the poignancy of life.

In this age of rapid decay, ever since I saw the ancient prop Sakata~ Recently, a festival was held in Tianmu, a holy place for literary and art experts in Hangzhou. A unique exhibition is being held here - "Antique Items Sakata, Your and My Choice". Come with me to enter a fantasy aesthetic journey and explore the beauty of this world together. 🍀Maybe you will ask "Who is Sakata?" He is an antique prop shop and esthetician from Japan. What is on display here are all the treasures collected in his antique furniture store. 🌟What can you see? Maybe you'll see pottery from South America, rice dishes from England, rice from Chinese pottery figurines, they are displayed together. However, it is different from the traditional museum exhibition format. The objects in this exhibition are not displayed according to time or category, but emphasize the matching between objects. Whether they are historical relics or daily utensils, they can coexist harmoniously and play a beautiful melody together. ✨What can you feel? This is a choice that belongs to Mr. Sakata, and it is also a choice that you have to dialogue with yourself. Those ordinary life objects, those long-dusted songs of the years, even those dilapidated ones, seem to contain beautiful stories and essence, as long as you are willing to feel it. You must be able to find your own beautiful experience here, even if it cannot be expressed in words. 🌟Exhibition route: It is recommended to watch in the order of 1st floor - 6th floor - 5th floor - 4th floor. Go ahead, you'll definitely find your trip worthwhile. Tianmuli Art Museum Building 1, No. 398 Tianmushan Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province Tuesday to Sunday 12:00-20:00, *last admission 19:30 Closed on Mondays *Open on statutory holidays

Beauty cannot be found in knowledge. Free eyes and a soft heart ❤️ seem to be the key to the door. Everyone has a different definition of beauty. We always say that the world is not lacking in beauty, but in the eyes that discover beauty. The antique props artist Sakata himself is critical of the beauty of luxury. He believes that the standard of beauty should be diverse. An ordinary item 🕰️ can also be beautiful if placed in the right place. I agree with this. Beauty is a kind of balance. What possibilities exist for abandoned everyday objects? At first glance, these items may seem ordinary, but if you look closely, you will find that these items have an indescribable special charm, which is really amazing. "Even if I am alone, I will continue along this narrow path." When I saw this sentence in Mr. Sakata's letter to Yoshizawa, I guessed that he was lonely and stubborn. You can visit the exhibition in the order of 1-6-5-4 floors. There are free postcards on the 6th floor for you to pick up. The 5th floor is the cinema and the 4th floor is the library. You won’t get tired of staying there for an entire afternoon.

The items in this exhibition are not displayed according to time, category, or origin, but focus on the relationship between the items. These second-hand items from around the world contain diverse cultures and possess various beauties. Although they stand quietly, one can still feel a different kind of beauty! What left a deep impression was: The fifth floor's audio-visual room's curator's narration and the layout process, recalling the second-hand items seen in the exhibition, feeling the collision of thoughts from different times and spaces at the same place, the feeling of aesthetics entering life, feeling like my eyes for discovering beauty have been opened 💗
