He Art Museum Entry & Tadao Ando Artwork

Book tickets in advance — especially on weekends and holidays. Same-day tickets may sell out.
Monday closure — plan your visit Tuesday–Sunday
Double-helix traffic flow — the staircase is designed as a one-way system (up one side, down the other). Don‘t go against the flow.
Best photo timing — arrive right at 10:00 AM to photograph the staircase before crowds
Check current exhibitions before visiting — special exhibitions may require separate tickets
The skylight light show — visit around the solstice or equinox for the most dramatic light projections
In the heart of Shunde, a city known for its culinary heritage and industrial might, stands a building that seems to have descended from another dimension. From above, it resembles a UFO — a series of concentric circles expanding outward like ripples on water. This is He Art Museum (HEM), the largest museum ever designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando.
