About Former French Municipal Board, Tianjin

Built in 1929–31 as the headquarters of the administration of Tianjin's French concession, this neoclassical building has a granite-faced base, a three-storey centre block with an Ionic colonnade and symmetrical two-storey wings. The square in front of it was the site of the October 1945 ceremony at which Japanese forces in Tianjin surrendered, when the building was the US military headquarters. It has since served as a library and an art museum, and since 2023 it has housed the Tianjin Digital Art Museum.
