White Rabbit Gallery

White Rabbit Gallery was opened in 2009 to showcase what has become one of the world’s largest and most significant collections of Chinese contemporary art. Founded by Judith Neilson, who was inspired to establish it after her first trips to Beijing in the late 1990s, it is dedicated to showcasing the creative energy and technical quality of works made in the 21st century that Judith wanted to share with people outside of China.

White Rabbit Tea House

Whether you’re visiting White Rabbit’s collection, meeting a friend or just in need of a break, the gallery’s tranquil street-level Tea House is a delightful place to relax, chat, or simply read the paper as you sip. As well as snacks, we serve a wide range of the finest Chinese and Taiwanese teas. The White Rabbit Tea House also serves freshly handmade dumplings, as well as a sweet or savory snack plates with homemade biscuits and scones baked daily in our kitchen.
