Shenzhen, China, January 20, 2026 — JD.com announces the JD Museum, an institution for contemporary visual and performing arts and culture, opening in late 2027, in the new headquarters of JD.com, situated in the Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Base.
The Museum will be established in a building designed by Büro Ole Scheeren, described as a “Scenic City”, with spatial design by Neri&Hu Design and Research Office. Encompassing more than 10,000 square meters, the Museum will have dedicated facilities for live performances, immersive installations, exhibitions, participatory workshops, and creative retail.
Mission: From Shenzhen to the World, Connecting People through Art and Technology
Rooted in JD.com’s mission of “Making Lives Better through Technology,” JD Museum is dedicated to connecting people through art and technology. The Museum will engage with and support a community of artists and audiences in achieving excellence and cultivating shared values, modeling a lifestyle of the future through exhibitions, education, research, publishing, commissioning and collecting.
At the heart of the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and with the full support of JD.com, JD Museum’s program will focus on art as a cross-disciplinary experience. In addressing the pressing issues of today—technology, ecology, urbanism—through a balanced approach to technological progress and tactile human experience, the Museum will emphasize the work of translation and presentation, promoting accessibility to young people and the local community.
Leadership: Robin Peckham Announced as Executive Director
Under the direction of the museum committee, JD Museum is led by Executive Director Robin Peckham, heading a dedicated Shenzhen-based team.
Peckham is a curator and editor who has served as Co-Director of Taipei Dangdai Art & Ideas (2019-2025) and Editor-in-Chief of LEAP, the international art magazine of contemporary China (2014-2019). He has organized exhibitions on art, technology, popular culture, and the family for Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Fosun Foundation, and K11 Art Foundation, with his show “Art Post-Internet” listed by ARTnews as one of the 20 most important art exhibitions of the 2010s.
“I am thrilled to help launch a new cultural chapter for a company that is already one of the most fascinating stories in the development of the Chinese technology sector,” says Peckham. “Shenzhen feels like the most exciting place in the world to explore the intersection of art and technology right now.”
2026 Public Programs: Unboxing JD Museum
In the two years prior to its official opening in Shenzhen, JD Museum will introduce itself to the world in the form of “Unboxing JD Museum.” This community art initiative will invite creative input from artists, curators, architects, and the JD.com community — including employees and their families and friends. It will take the shape of a pop-up workshop and exhibition series utilizing JD.com’s iconic delivery boxes. Further details on the open call, exhibition tour, and employee participation initiatives will be announced later in 2026.
