Suzhou Museum

Top 14 in Can't Miss Attractions

IM PEI understand the art of the it and how to blend it in because he was born in this city, and his old house (which is a also a UNESCO listed calssical grden) is literally a 5 minutes walk from this museum. He really poured a lot of energy into this project, his last ever project, for his hometown.

A very unattractive design. I wish they had employed a better architect like Zaha Hadid instead of I.M.Pei. The system they use to allow visitors in is very impractical. They have time slots and you are allowed in for an hour. The problem is that you have a stagnant group of 5.000 tourists who cant appreciate history or culture in at a time. Very unpleasant experience.

When you come to Gusu District of Suzhou, you must come to see the famous Suzhou Museum. The new Suzhou Museum is the only building in China designed by the world-renowned architect Pei I.M. Suzhou Museum is open for free, but you need to swipe your ID card to enter the venue after real-name registration. At 9 o'clock in the morning, there was a long queue at the entrance of the museum to take the baby's family through the green channel. After that, you can enter the museum after a security check. 🎋The overall style of the museum is traditional pink walls and black tiles. The stone rockery, pavilions, bridges, ponds, and bamboo forests that connect between the venues are all symbols that adorn Jiangnan architecture. Master Pei broke through the shackles of the traditional Chinese architecture "big roof" in terms of lighting, and adopted an open structure of glass to let the interior borrow a lot of skylight. 🐾 Most of the exhibits in the Suzhou Museum are cultural relics. The exhibition halls are concentrated on the side of the west corridor, ranging from pottery, porcelain, jade, bronze to jade, clothing, and miscellaneous pieces. You can also scan the QR code to view the detailed introduction on site🔎🐾 The east gallery of the museum leads to art shops, toilets and exits. After watching the exhibition, I went to the store and found that the surroundings of Subo are very well done. There are many types and interesting things, and there are things that all ages like. I think the music boxes with the theme of Subo, Gardens and Suzhou are very special~—————————————————————— Tickets: Make an appointment with your ID card & admission Note: personal Reservations can be made at the earliest seven days in advance of the visit.
