There are many art galleries throughout Beijing. I personally reccomend just finding a real modern artist at Tienanmen Square to truely see Beijing's artwork. However, there are many galleries as well. I can think of five different ones:

1) China Art Gallery - Zhong1 guo2 Mei3 shu4 guan3 : There are many paintings and photos. This is a great place to see modern chinese art. The enterence fee is Y4 and the gallery is open from 9:00 to 17:00 Tues. - Sun.. Phone: 6401 7076 Address: 1 Wusi Dajie, Beijing.

2) Red Gate Gallery - Hong2 men2 Hua4 lang2 : Some artwork, see their website for more: www.china.redgate-gallery.com . The gallery is open from 10:00 to 17:00, I don't remember the enterence fee. Phone: 6525 1005.

3) Courtyard Gallery : nice art gallery and has a good restaurant. Address: 95 Donghuamen Dajie Phone: 6526 8882.

4) Kebab Cafe Gallery - art gallery and cafe.

5) Wan Fung Art Gallery - This gallery is located near the Forbidden City and across from the imperial palace. It has a really nice setting and some good art as well. You can check out their website at www.wanfung.com.cn . Phone: 6523 3320.
