Sichuan Museum

Beautiful replica of the clothing for emperor and government official. Also clothing for female maids. I was also amazed by the sewing machine. This place is free to visit. You only need to request for reservations. When enter the place, use the QR code. It is good for all the members in your reservation. Just past it to the next person.

Absolutely great FREE museum! Small but interesting. Located 7 minutes walking distance from the art and antique market. Tons of brass and porcelain artifacts. Expect to spend about 1.5 hours here. No food sold here (only light snacks) so eat before your arrival.

The entrance is free, you will be able to explore it within max. 2 hours. As expected, most of the text is in Chinese but totally worth paying a visit to know more about history of Sichuan

Nice exhibit but a bit too warm to enjoy the place. One would rush through the displays to escape the heat. Escaping to the main halls to cool down..

Building is a bit old but exhibition is wonderful. Remember toilet paper is not provided in bathroom !

Sichuan Museum is in Chengdu and can be reached through subway on Line 2, or Line 4 stop Chengdu University of TCM & Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital. (One need to walk a little from Subway stop to reach the museum). This visit was a unique experience. The museum building is based on three flours with clear layout plans and directions in both Chinese and English. However some exhibits only have description in Chinese. Entrance to the museum was free but one needs to display identity documents. The staff at the entrance was helpful and it didn’t take long to go through the security check. The museum hosts several galleries. Among all the galleries I enjoyed "Gallery of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy", dont miss it. Gallery of Sichuan Ethnic Culture, Gallery of Sichuan Embroidery, Gallery of Tibetan Buddhism are alsoa must visit. Bronze section was closed on the day I visited. Dont miss it if you are in Chengdu, Museum remains closed on Monday and public holidays.

Great exhibits with tons of beautiful pieces with good detailed explanations in english. Some of the glass for the display cases was a bit dirty though.

It's not that big, but have very interesting exhibition's to see.
