The 5 Best Art Museums in Suzhou, Jiangsu

May 20, 2021 Leida Jutras

Suzhou is a major city on the lower Yangtze known for its canals, bridges, pagodas, and beautiful gardens.  These gardens were built and owned by wealthy families and emperors hundreds of years ago, and make for a pleasant place to wander during nice weather. Suzhou is also a major center for silk production and manufacturing, and a tour of a silk factory here provides an interesting and educational glimpse of this Chinese textile industry. Suzhou is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

One of the most amazing museums I have ever seen. Not that far from my Shanghai starting point in the beautiful river town of Lili. Starting with the eloquently finished exterior, the massive five floor building has been wrapped what must be millions of ancient bricks. The colors and lighting of Six Arts at night is jaw dropping. When you first walk in you immediately notice a giant wall of statues in niches from floor to ceiling and lit up with a showy display of lighting. The layers of details in the displays in the museum are truly incredible. You are walking in and through exhibits and are given the opportunity to interact with and touch most of it. It takes at least 2-3 hours to see all of the floors but I feel like I could have taken more to fully appreciate this museum. I actually met the owner who was delightful and very informative. The museum has new developments planned and he mentioned they will be opening a hotel soon. I strongly recommend this masterpiece to anyone traveling in China!!
