THE BUNKER

The Bunker, located at No.3 Zhang Zizhong Road, Beijing, was originally the underground facility built by General Yasuji Okamura, commander-in-chief of the Japanese occupying force in Northern China during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The architectural compound that The Bunker belongs to has witnessed the changes in historical periods of modern China: Constructed in 1906, this architectural compound once housed the offices of the Qing Government’s Navy and Army until it became the Duan Qirui’s administrative office of the Nationalist government in 1924; In 1926, the March 18 Massacre occurred here; After the founding of the government of CPC in 1949, it has been used by People's University of China. Since 2017, as part of the historic site, The Bunker opens as an exhibition space for experimental art.

空间简介

掩体空间位于北京东城区张自忠路3号院，是日据时期驻华北日军司令冈村宁次修筑的地下工事。空间所在的建筑群落见证了近代中国各历史时期的变迁——该建筑群落始建于1906年——清政府海军部和陆军部曾在此办公；1924年，段祺瑞在此任中华民国临时执政；1926年三·一八惨案在此发生；1949年建政后这里又长期作为中国人民大学校址使用，自2017年起，作为历史遗迹的一部分，掩体开启为实验艺术的展览空间。
