To make art accessible and free to all is the shared dream of the museum and the whole Rockbund community, a neighborhood consisting of 11 historical architectures and 6 new structures at the juncture of Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek, according to Zhu Xiaorui, director of the Rockbund Art Museum. "Art institutions are among the few places that can turn the impossible into possible and provide a space for imagination that creates new wonders."

Currently three exhibitions are ongoing at the museum.

A Crack in the Shape of Light Getting In marks the first survey exhibition held in Asia by Canadian artist Ash Moniz, taking place from May 2 to Sep 28.

Spanning three floors of the Rockbund Art Museum, the exhibition draws from over a decade of Moniz's research-driven practice that investigates the hidden violence embedded within global supply-chain logistics, and the fragile cracks where resistance, solidarity and political imagination persist.
