I like to visit museums. Every time I go to a city, it is necessary to visit the local museums. I am fascinated by the magical historical stories and beautiful cultural relics and works of art. To the east of the central axis of Guangzhou's Pearl River New Town, a four-sided, transparent grey building, like a moonlight treasure box, stands between skyscrapers, looking reserved and calm. The shape of Guangdong Museum looks square and square, but it is also scattered and unique. It has Chinese flavor. It is like a work of art built up by large and small square boxes. The bottom is hanging around. Each layer of window glass and red border form many flaming windows. It is like hollowed ivory carvings, full of mystery. Line up at the entrance to collect tickets, pass security checks and enter the museum. The museum is divided into two parts: the basic exhibition and the temporary exhibition. It seems that the collection of the basic exhibition hall is on the third and fourth floors, mainly displaying the long Lingnan culture and Guangdong history, nature and so on. Walking up to the third floor along the broad building ladder, we visited Chaozhou Wood Carving Art Exhibition Hall, Duanyan Art Exhibition Hall, Ceramic Exhibition Hall and Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall. Among them, the Chaozhou Wood Carving Art Exhibition vividly restores the halls, bedrooms, study and other scenes of traditional Chaoshan dwellings, reproduces the display and application of wood carving products in Chaoshan folk traditional social life, and shows the unique non-legacy works of art in the country. On the fourth floor is the exhibition hall of Guangdong history and culture. A huge arc map of Guangdong, more than 8 meters high and more than 20 meters long, is shocking. The innumerable small pictures with Lingnan architectural features embedded in them bring people into the brilliant and glorious Lingnan historical river for thousands of years. Through rich exhibition means such as cultural relics, pictures, oil paintings, sculptures, models, multimedia and restoring scenes, this paper introduces the historical changes of Guangdong from the Maba Man period to the founding of New China in an all-round way, focusing on the highlights of Guangdong's ethnic history, overseas trade history, overseas Chinese history and revolutionary history. Then the natural resources exhibition of Guangdong Province is divided into seven thematic exhibitions: geology, landform, minerals, gems, Chinese herbal medicine, terrestrial wildlife, marine life and paleontology. It shows the general picture of natural resources of Guangdong from various angles and sets a precedent for setting up the basic exhibition of natural resources in provincial comprehensive museum. Inside the pavilion, "Hong Kong T-shirt Culture" is on display, and visitors are flocking to the pavilion. However, some exhibition halls of the museum are being maintained behind closed doors. The treasure of the museum town only sees the Chaozhou golden lacquer wood carving shrine "Yongqing Hall", the stone-bearing Thousand Golden Monkey Wang Yan, the blue and white figure jade pot and spring vase in Jingdezhen kiln. Others do not see the exhibition, which is a pity. Know a city, the museum gives you the answer. Each museum is a gift of history to the city and the people. It is an open lecture hall for people to understand history and the future. They are all waiting for you to answer all kinds of questions. Wouldn't you like to come and see them?

    4/5Excellent

    Large and lovely museum. Has free entry but do have a photo of your identification, if not the real thing. Shares grounds in an open park near the opera house. Truly very ambient. The dossier works for some exhibits, definitely need more than one day to not be overwhelmed by the crowds, size of exhibits, or slow cafe service.

    I made an appointment in advance for the Guangdong Provincial Museum of 10:00-11:00 in the applet. I took a taxi to 10:45. The free tickets on the same day can be queued in together. I feel that the queue will take 1 hour. The on-site paid exhibition can be directly entered but the tickets are sold out. Special people go directly to the service cabin to apply for tickets. Each tube has a regular explanation, the first floor rents a voice guide, 20/bit, the induction is not very sensitive, you need to manually enter, the overall effect is not bad. The 3rd floor, the 3rd floor mezzanine, the fourth floor has ceramics, wood carvings, costumes, Xingtai, culture, folklore, biology, ocean exhibitions, etc. The whole is still very good-looking, I feel that it is worth it, if you listen to the explanation, it is estimated that you have to go shopping for a day, very tired. You can buy a card stamp 38/book, on the 2nd, 3rd floor, 3rd floor mezzanine floor a total of 9 chapters, and some cultural and creative sales, you can stamp this book. There are rental VR glasses on the 3rd floor, and there is a bio-hall explanation, but it feels that you can't experience it with the headset. The black in the hall is not very convenient. There is a lot of content and I can't hear it, 50/person. There is a cafe on the 1st floor, hot water, seating and bathroom on each floor, rolling ladder and straight ladder.

    The museum is very large, including history and culture, natural resources, crafts (ceramics, wood carving, end-to-end) and other exhibition areas. Especially recommended is the natural resources exhibition hall, there is a display of Guangdong ecology, and there is also a net red marine animal area, which can be comparable to other professional natural museums in provinces and cities! Visit suggestions: 1. Open at 9 o'clock in the morning, no need to queue. You need to queue up when you enter the door late! 2. The museum restaurant sells boxed lunches, and there are quite a lot of people. It is recommended to eat off-peak. 3. It is recommended to go to the natural area (more people) first, and then go to the more distinctive historical and cultural area and wood carving exhibition hall. The tour time is arranged for 3 hours. The location of the museum is very good, you can go directly to the Guangzhou Tower and Huacheng Square.
