Guangdong Museum, Provincial museum in Guangzhou, China
The Guangdong Museum is a large cultural center in Guangzhou with multiple levels and different exhibition areas. It houses historical artifacts, natural specimens, and regional artworks in dedicated spaces.
The museum was founded in 1959 and began as part of a university. It moved to a new building in 2010 that significantly expanded its collections.
The museum displays wood carvings and porcelain pieces created by local craftspeople over generations. These works reflect the artistic traditions that have shaped Guangdong for centuries.
Visiting is easiest on weekdays when crowds are lighter. Nearby subway stations make getting there simple without long walks on foot.
The building was designed based on ivory puzzle balls, which have a long history in Cantonese culture. This multi-layered structure is reflected in the modern architecture.
