West Lake Museum, Cultural museum in Hangzhou, China.
The West Lake Museum spans across 20,144 square meters, with three-quarters of its modern structure built underground and topped by a steel frame glass construction.
Initially established in 1929 as the Zhejiang Provincial West Lake Museum, the institution relocated multiple times during the 1937 Japanese invasion before returning to Hangzhou in 1945.
The museum contains over 100,000 artifacts, including Neolithic jade pieces, ancient ivory carvings, and the historically significant Sword of Yue King Zhuji Yushi.
Visitors can access four main exhibition areas through 310 meters of display space, featuring 516 pictures and 389 items that document West Lake's development.
The museum houses 'The Remaining Mountain' by Yuan dynasty painter Huang Gongwang, which forms part of the divided masterwork 'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains'.
