The N+T Art Museum, Zhuzhou's first modern art museum, opened in the Qingshuitang area of Shifeng District on September 28, 2025. Centered on the core concept of "art-science integration," the museum draws upon the spatial heritage of the former industrial base to blend technology, art, and heritage revitalization together.

The Qingshuitang Old Industrial Zone carries the weighty memories of industrial civilization. The N+T Art Museum aims to build a new urban ecosystem upon the original industrial site, serving as a standard model while also acting as a showcase for the integration of industrial heritage preservation and urban renewal. The museum's name embodies the fusion of multidimensional values: N represents Nature, Now, New, and Nexus while T signifies Technology, Tao, Time, and Tradition.

The inaugural exhibition, titled "Fusion—Nature, Technology, and Humanity in Symbiosis," features Lu Xiaobo's ink painting series on the red-crowned crane, the photographic imagery of the Qingshuitang Industrial Heritage Site, space photography by astronaut Tang Hongbo, large-scale VR interactive art installations, and digital works by multiple artists and tech creators. Collectively, these pieces explore the relationships between "the era and nature," "technology and humanity," and "the local and the global," embodying the museum's advocacy for the concept of "art-science integration."

The N+T Art Museum was said to be open to the public starting September 29. Visitors can navigate to the museum by searching "N+T Art Museum" on map apps, or take bus routes T97 or T100 to Qingshuitang Bridge East Station and walk to the destination. In the future, the museum will host a series of academic exchanges and public education activities, providing residents with ongoing artistic experiences.
