Gansu Provincial Museum, Gansu, China
4.5 (126 reviews) Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Lanzhou History Museums
Fun for just under acouple of hours
Great collection of fossils and some lovely bronze age horses! There is an entire room dedicated to just pottery from pre-bronze age which was a bit repetitive for me but to each their own! The fossil/dinosaur rooms were great with good mix of English signs. There are entire rooms made up to look like some of the great sights of the silk roads which was different! But fun. Entrance was tricky as the tickets are only available through their Chinese only app and they were quite rude about allowing me entrance dispute my various green codes and recent NAT negative result so be warned!

Worth a visit
We spent 4 hours in the museum and had to stop because of closing time. It is quite rambling and you should take care not missing a corridor. Plenty of history of the area around Lanzhou, as well as the silk road was shown. But not only the history in terms of the past thousand years, also dinosaurs etc. Unfortunately we couldn't make it anymore to the exhibition about the "red" time (communists).

Worth a visit
This museum is more interesting than I expected. There is an interesting collection of Silk Road items from excavations. If you have time in Lanzhou, it is for sure worth a visit.
