 The
Gansu Provincial Museum,
covering a total area of
16.5 acres, is the most
impressive museum in the
province. This is one of
the best sights in the
city, and for those who
are in the western
section of Lanzhou, a
visit is well
worthwhile. The museum
complex is made up of
three separate buildings
linked by corridors, and
further divided into two
sections, a natural
resources section
downstairs and
historical exhibits
upstairs.
The museum houses a
variety of collections
including color-painted
pottery from the
Neolithic Period, murals
from the Wei and Jin
periods, bamboo slips
for writing from the Han
time, and bronze
artifacts. Most
archeological finds in
the region of Hexi
Corridor are kept here.
It is well worth a
visit. |
