★★★★★a year agoWe went as a high school tour group so, the visit was in order. We didn't have to guess where to go. I'd recommend a tour guide if you want to visit these types of museums.

★★★★★9 years agoIt's the space where intellects back then got inspired by knowledge from the West and started May Fourth Movement. Not very well managed, but the exhibition materials worth attention.
