    Amazing museum
    This is a museum focused on ancient Chinese history and art. It's fantastic. It is also free (which is great) but means it also gets very crowded fast. Tickets have to be reserved on wechat by time, entrance is on the north side, plenty of tickets Saturday morning but inside it already felt very crowded to me. We had young children who only wanted to see the jade and bronze weapons, and the shipwreck exhibit but next time will be back to see more!

    One of the Better Museums in China
    Conveniently located near Peoples Square with a Metro stop. Very modern with a wide range of displays of art, money, pottery, furniture, clothing, jade carvings, bronze castings, calligraphy seals and statues spread over 4 floors. Can easily spend 3-4 hours if you are interested in Chinese history. Many of the displays have English explanations and there are audio guides available. Many visitors brought their own lunches and were eating them on the numerous benches scattered throughout the building. If you like museums, definitely worth a visit.
