Shaoxing Museum

Shaoxing Museum is located in the historical and cultural protection zone on the western side of the city. The main exhibition area is divided into a basement and a ground floor. The main exhibition hall is modeled after the Jiyue copper house unearthed in Shaoxing. Other buildings are flat-roofed structures topped with decorative green vegetation and outer walls featuring Shaoxing East Lake stonework. In the middle of the square, there is a bronze abstract statue of a sword, engraved with the words "To the Fame of Shaoxing City." The history of Shaoxing is also engraved at the bottom of the statue. There are two other exhibition halls in the museum, hosting a variety of temporary exhibits throughout the year. Shaoxing Museum is a window into the local culture.
