This is a house built in 1902 and converted into an art museum. It is a little on the smaller side but it is free! The staff are friendly and when we went there was a guide that spoke English and was sharing all kinds of information about the area like the museum and how the tram worked! Some of the prints in the gift shop are made by an artist down the road and are sold in a couple shops. The translation of the main shop where he works is called Bear Cub Book Store. The 201 tram stops nearby and it is a short walk from the Dalian Railway Station. Plan to spend about an hour here but more for the Russian Street.

Checked this place as one of the places to visit in Dalian , unfortunately we were not allowed to enter . We could not understand why we can’t enter - communication barrier. Could have been helpful if they have english translation of why you are not allowed to enter at that particular time. The building has a nice exterior though. And walking from this pkace , we found out that this was within the vicinity of the Russian street where you have nice architectural buildings.
