Artistic tribute

Museum for Mu Xin showcases his writings, art and fiery passion

Sitting quietly on the Yuanbao Lake inside Wuzhen's Xizha scenic area, the modern, wood-colored Mu Xin Art Museum blends surprisingly well with the generally touristy area in ancient Chinese style.

Across the lake, Wuzhen Grand Theater stands tall, facing the museum. Its elliptical design forms a sharp contrast with the hard straight lines of the museum, as if the theater held all the passion of acting, while the museum housed the sober and quiet soul of painter, musician and writer Mu Xin.
