About the Museum

Juming museum was established to showcase the evolution of art, while Juming Foundation was created to ensure the museum’s enduring legacy. The museum also serves to provide a fitting home for the artworks. Since these artworks belong to the public, returning them to society fulfills their ultimate purpose. — Founder Ju Ming
