After the successful openings of two art museums
in Beijing and Hangzhou, Han Meilin turned his
attention to the foothills of the Helan Mountain
near Yinchuan. After visiting the area for the
first time more than two decades ago, Han Meilin
was moved by the rock paintings there, and
considers their influence a turning point in his
artistic life. In 2010, Han donated 1,000 pieces
of his work to the Yinchuan municipal government,
and an art museum to house the works was built.

museums, was charged with creating the wayfinding
system for the unique museum.
