he two temporary exhibition halls on the first floor focus on the special exhibitions
of Wu Land culture and Jiangnan culture as well as other fine exhibitions from
Tboth home and abroad. The second floor displays permanent thematic exhibitions,
including "Archaeological Surveys of Wuzhong" and "Ballads, Hymns, and Eulogies of
Wuzhong." Such exhibitions give fairly comprehensive academic explanations of Wu culture
and Wu Land culture.

The design of the Museum of Wu is inspired by the streets and courtyards of Suzhou. The
patchwork of gray and white walls and glass curtain walls are a combination of elegance and
modernity.

It is worth mentioning that the museum is adjacent to the Tantai Lake Scenic Spot. Looking
out from the museum, a beautiful picture of spring comes into view. Tantai Lake Park has a
large lawn, which is very suitable for picnics and kite flying. You can also check in the ancient
Baodai Bridge in the surrounding area and enjoy the scenery of the Grand Canal.
