The Huamao Art Museum was funded by Mr. Xu Wanmao, chairman of the Huamao Group based in Ningbo, who personally contributed over 50 million yuan. The floor space of the museum covers more than 7,000 square meters and features Xu Wanmao's personal collection of almost 1,000 valuable calligraphy and painting works by famous Chinese artists dating back to the Yuan Dynasty as well as Russian-style oil paintings.
