About
M Woods Museum is an independent, not-for-profit art museum founded in 2014 by collectors Lin Han and Wanwan Lei, which opened to the public in the autumn of 2014, and is located in Beijing's 798 Art Zone. The M WOODS 798 site is housed in a former munitions factory in Beijing's 798 art district, and in 2019 M WOODS opened its second museum space, M WOODS Art Community, located in the city's historic Dongcheng district. Regarding the origin of the museum's name, Lin Han told Asian Art in a 2016 interview that "M is the initial of my mother's given name, Miao. Woods is a play on the English translation of the Mandarin character for Lin which means wood or forest."
