Suzhou Museum, a masterpiece by world renowned architect I.M. Pei, is one of the most well designed modern buildings in the country that is quintessentially Chinese.
The white plaster walls and gray stone roof tiles of the building echo Suzhou's gardens. The museum, which is about a two-minute walk from the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou's old city, exhibits porcelain, handicrafts, calligraphy and paintings from the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. They tell of the history, art, and culture of Suzhou and Yangtze River Delta.
