Nanjing Museum

On 8th of March, my friends Lawrence, Gerry, Chris, Tim, Paul, Tim and me went to Nanjing Museum together. The reason why we visited Nanjing Museum was that Nanjing Museum did not like other exhibitions, it included many different kings of exhibitions. We could enjoy many kinds of exhibitions and different ways of art for going to one place, and it opened everyday. An other reason was that Nanjing Museum was free. That was good for us. Nanjing Museum was on East Zhongshan Road.

First we went to the Ancient Chinese Lacquer Exhibition. There were many lacquers there. Some of we even have not seen. However the introductions told us what the lacquers used for.This is Ruyi in Gold Lacquer, it was in Qing Dynasty, A.D. 1644-1911.It was on of my favourite lacquers. It was made of gold and the carving was perfect and careful. It was unbelievable. This was just one of the lacquers in the exhibition.

Then we went to the Ancient Chinese Jade Exhibition. Over there we learnt how to make jade. And also many beautiful jades there. Afterwards we were in the Cloud Brocade Hall.This was a robe with design of dragon among clouds. It was for the emperor. From the guide we knew it took 3 years to make this robe. That was miraculous.

We also saw Wuwei Shan Cultural Figures Sculpture Gallery. And there were many beautiful paints from The 8 Strange Persons Of Yangzhou in Ancient Chinese Painting Exhibition.
