Ningbo Museum, Zhejiang, China
4.5 (131 reviews) Sunday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent Ranking #3 in Ningbo Speciality Museums
Modern architecture built from ancient material
Most recent Chinese architectures are designed by Western architects using shinning and sleek material. This museum is build by discarded tiles, bricks, and enameled pieces designed by native Chinese Architect Wang Shu whom won Pritzker Architecture Prize 2012 for it. It reflect the Chinese spirit of frugality and sustainability and its aesthetic are enhanced by these virtue. The collection is heavy on the sea route of Chinese Silk Route, and the top floor of old Ningbo lifestyle are great for children. A important modern architecture accomplishment to see. Joyce Sin.

Original Architecture
One immediately notices the architectual difference between the Ningbo Museum and most other museums in China. The regular style has been replaced by a sea-motif. This is very suitable given the crucial relationship & role water (both domestic - the Grand Canal and sea) has played in the history of the city and area. There are a few good books in English at the gift shop. I especially recommned the one chronicling the porcelian trade. There are also interesting rotating exhibits. It is a little unreported fact that the original Bund area was in Ningbo some two decades before the term was used in its economic and cultural rival Shanghai.

Experience Old Ningbo in the present time
Interesting award winning architecture coupled with well laid out exhibits provide a good attraction that is FOC to the public. Next to Yinzhou Park, it's a good place to stroll and spend your weekend~~~
