Nice museum with an array of various artifacts. Excellent display of jade and ceramics. Go to the north entrance for general admission, which
is free more »

The waiting time should not be underestimated. We waited for almost two hours. The admission is free. It is divided into thematic areas and
too messy for me. But nicely done. But again so long I wouldn't stand.

Excellent museum with high quality displays offered in multiple languages via audio guide. Well worth a visit with excellent audio guides in
English. I also enjoyed that there were smaller gift shops on each level of the museum with mechandise that were related to the exhibits on
the same floor. This was IN ADDITION to the main store on the first floor.

nice collection displayed in a reasonable setting. Good place for Chinese-art & culture beginners

Definitely worth spending some time at! No entrance fees and a lot of exhibitions. I only give a 4 star rating as the audio guides were overly
expensive in my opinion, especially the Non-Chinese ones. In addition, the two most interesting exhibitions (calligraphy and paintings) are
currently closed. However, it is only temporarily.

Long wait to get in. Exhibits focused on Chinese history and culture with very limited introduction. May not be interesting to kid.

If you've got couple of hours to kill, this is a nice museum to visit. There's no entry fee and have sections segregated based on currency,
painting, calligraphy and more.
