Construction of an art gallery in the Putuo Marine Culture and Creative Industrial Park in Zhoushan, Zhejiang is expected to commence in the middle of the year, local media recently reported.

The art gallery will cost a total of 50 million yuan ($7.89 million) and be built around three existing buildings in the industrial park.

Designers of the art gallery have talked with professor Wang Shu, designer of the Putuo Marine Culture and Creative Industrial Park, to make sure the art gallery's interior decoration fits in with the rest of the industrial park.

Designed by 15 high-profile designers, the industrial park was built around unused wharfs, shipyards, and ice delivery channels at the Shenjiamen fishing port and is expected to attract more investment in the near future.
