Abstract. The article examines the formation of Chinese art museums from the 1950s. Also it highlights the impact of Mao Zedong’s reforms (they are called the «cultural revolution» in historiography) on the development of the museum sphere. The main attention is paid to the 1990s changes, which affected the economic, social and political life of China.
Based on the analysis of the art museum sphere of China, the position of art museums of Ukraine is partially covered. The paper notes that the formation of China’s art museum industry is a good example for Ukrainian museums. The urgency of the work lies in the fact that the comprehensive analysis of the art museum business of China highlights important elements of the combination of public policy and private initiative, useful for the future development of Ukrainian museology.
