Suzhou Museum is a very interesting museum with some excellent exhibits, particularly the early ceramics but it is the building which is the real star, it is 21C and has won many architectural awards.

I liked the short documentary about the building, the exhibition not so much. When we went they had a temporary exhibit of the paintings of Hexi thats definitely worth checking out for free but I don't know how long they will have that one

It is a small but a very nice museum. worth the visit. Many interesting artifacts. Will require about 2 hours of time.

This museum is worth visiting just to see the architectural features designed by one of Suzhou's most famous native sons. It also hosts an impressive array of objects, from an intricately painted coffin to a nice selection of Ming dynasty porcelain.

Not many places in China are free. The museum is in a nice, very modern building, has a few interesting exhibits and it's...free. Worth a visit if you're walking past or interested in old artifacts. it's better than most

One of the highlights of our suzhou trip. There a lot of things to see in the museum. The architecture is amazing. Don't miss this! :)
