Post-industrial chic (aka) 798 Art District

The 798 Art District in Beijing was easily one of our favorite sites in this bustling city. World class art, housed in what was once military factory buildings. Even these factories could be a museum all on there own without any art inside. Built with large skylight windows and swatooth shapped roofs which maximized natural light provided a blank canvas for atist to show their work.

Since I was respectful of the artist and the galleries I took no photos of the lovely work inside these spaces. I did on the other hand take my liberty shooting all the street art filling in the nooks and alleyways within this neighborhood. While we only ended up spending a good half day walking around you could easily spend a full day and possibly even two exploring every museum.
