a delightful museum where everyone can find something for themselves, a huge number of exhibits: calligraphy, paintings, furniture, traditional costumes, masks for the theater, there are even life-size boats.
I was especially impressed by the national costumes and decorations. the museum building itself deserves attention.
It was only here that I learned that Chinese museums have seals for visitors (sometimes they are even made for exhibitions): many have special books where you can leave a stamp as a souvenir. I had a receipt from the souvenir shop, I used it.
I don't know how usual, we passed for free: the locals helped with the booking of tickets.
the cafe on the ground floor was not impressed (it is probably better to go higher): the dining room smelled very strongly, tasteless Americano for 40 yuan, when they did not order anything else, napkins were sharply pulled out (even paper ones were taken away).
We arrived directly at the museum, the view from the outside is gorgeous, 11 galleries. Unfortunately, we couldn't get in, we made an online entry for visiting the museum in advance using a QR code and a passport. When I tried to register, tickets were sold only for the next week. Therefore, purchase in advance. Not getting there, we went out and went to the nearby museum of the future city of Shanghai). But that's in another review.
Admission to the museum is free. Exhibitions dedicated to the history of Chinese art are held here. There are a lot of valuable artifacts, porcelain, ceramics and bronze products.But the best are jade products, for which China has been famous since ancient times.The name and description of the exhibits are in Chinese and English, which is very convenient.There are no audio guides in Russian, but it is interesting without it.
