Ningbo Museum

The angular structure of Ningbo Museum features reclaimed materials from demolished buildings, incorporating traditional construction methods across its exterior walls.

The museum opened in December 2008 under the design of architect Wang Shu, who later became the first Chinese recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize.

Collections within the museum showcase artifacts representing Ningbo's maritime trade history, traditional customs, and regional artworks from the Hemudu culture period.

The museum receives visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with final entry at 4:00 PM, except during national holidays.

The building employs the wapan construction technique, where stones and tiles connect through thin lime layers, creating flexible joints throughout the structure.
