Let's go to the museum! Shaoxing Museum

The huge sword in front of the Shaoxing Museum is the most eye-catching part of the museum. According to official data, "It is an abstract sculpture of a bronze sword 12.8 meters high and weighing 8 tons. The front of the sword is inlaid with 280 characters of "Records of Famous Cities of Shaoxing". Below the sculpture is a 40-meter-long bronze "firewood road" engraved with 25 historical records of Shaoxing, from "Gou Jian ordered Fan Li to build a city in the 30th year of King Jing of Zhou (490 BC)" to "July 27, 1983, the State Council approved the establishment of Shaoxing as a city". The whole group of sculptures implies courage, hard work and striving for strength." Shaoxing Museum is located at the foot of Fushan (park) in the ancient city of Shaoxing, not far from Yuewangtai. It belongs to the "Yuewangcheng Historical and Cultural Protection Area". The design of the museum also has a strong Yue style. My impression of Shaoxing Museum is that it doesn't look big from the outside, but it's quite big inside. Because the museum adopts a downward-looking space design, with the main exhibition hall on the first floor and underground, it breaks the traditional design of comprehensive museums that always go upwards. After entering the museum hall, visitors can take the escalator down clockwise to the underground floor to continue their visit. The basic exhibition "Spring and Autumn Period of Yue Land - History and Culture of Shaoxing" takes Shaoxing's historical and cultural geography as the geographical scope, Shaoxing's historical development as the context, and Shaoxing's important historical periods as nodes. It is divided into six parts: "Pre-Yue, Yue State, Kuaiji County, Yuezhou, Shaoxing Prefecture, and Modern Shaoxing", which systematically displays Shaoxing's history and culture from the Paleolithic Age to the founding of New China. The exhibition displays more than 1,000 cultural relics and specimens (sets) Get off at Luxun's Hometown Station on Metro Line 1 and walk there. No reservation is required. Just scan your ID card on site. 09:00-16:30. Closed on Mondays √ Free stamping and free baggage storage in the lobby on the first floor The museum is not big and the whole journey takes about 1 hour Visitors to Shaoxing Museum can visit Yuewang Terrace and Fushan Park-Feiyi Tower for free. In addition, this place is very close to Cangqiao Zhijie Street, just a hundred meters walk away.
