We did not see this museum due to all 3 days was sold out , so I can only recommend you to make reservations online or at the hotel before you come to Suzhou.
All gardens and sights in Suzhou are with out limit. The modern, light, attractive building and courtyard by IM Pei is of course very attractive. The staircase with waterfall wall is impressive. The Museum's actual collection is modest but pleasant. The small cafe does coffee and elegant cakes, but little else.
Designed by the famous architect who designed Lourve Museum, Mr I. Cleverly thought and design. Every single details are carefully plan and design. If you have being Lourve, you must also go to This museum. The museum is a modern building by acclaimed architect I M Pei which incorporates classic Chinese garden design features. It houses important collections of ceramics and jade some of which date back to Neolithic times.
It is located in the old city and well worth A very comfortable stay at the Mercure enabled us to get to Suzhou Museum right at the start of the day and enjoy the museum before it became flooded with visitors. What a wonderful place! The previous day, we also enjoyed the walk into the But its collection left me lukewarm, mainly because of A really good though not particularly big museum in a really cool building.
You can book tickets in advance on their website, which is probably a good idea. Fantastic museum with a wide range of items from pottery and art to clothing and furniture. All items are also described in English. The building itself is very well designed with a wonderful garden, and the adjoining palace was home to one of the Tai We have been to many museums in China. This is a very nice museum about history of Suzhou. All in Chinese so hard for us to know anything.
