Sichuan Museum, Sichuan, China
4.0 (189 reviews) Saturday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #15 in Chengdu Speciality Museums
A mix of modern & old artifacts & other exhibits
I mostly went to see the exhibits and artifacts of Ancient China. many of the ancient artifacts were likely excavated over the years, and maybe partially restored. Most of the information displayed beside the artifacts was only in Chinese. Thus, if you come, it would be helpful to have a guide or friend who can read Chinese and provide information on what you are viewing.

Good for a walk through on your way to visit Dufu’s thatched cottage
The museum is about a 15 minute walk from Dufu’s thatched cottage so you can combine the two easily enough. I spent a bit over an hour at the museum and was very pleased. Actually you could spend longer but I got a late start that day. The museum has a variety of porcelain, bronze, and art displays. To the untrained eye much of it is not too different than other exhibits you would find in museums around China. I did particularly enjoy the exhibits on Sichuan and chengdu cultural activities which seemed more unique to me. Many but not all the exhibits have pretty good English explanations which is very much appreciated. All in all this museum is worth a visit if it fits into your schedule and plans but I would not describe it as a must see.
