Traveler reviews
Wei Yang Low
★★★★★3 years agoWell worth a visit. Queue is terrible like any other parts of Beijing, but the price to enter is pretty reasonable. Exhibitions are good.
Michal Tasar
★★★★★9 years agoThe museum is mainly directed at school age children in my opinion, with the displays being brief and easy to grasp, but of course the adults can still find a lot to see and enjoy here. The entry is free, which is really a great benefit. On the downside the museum was pretty crowded.
