Guangdong Provincial Museum: It's... Complicated. ðŸ«
-
In my opinion, the Guangdong Provincial Museum is the worst one I've ever visited.
-
It was historically a place of exile, so what do you expect?
-
It's the lamest museum I've ever been to. With hardly any decent exhibits, they might as well just close it down.
-
I actually think the Shisan Hang Museum (Thirteen Factories Museum) is pretty good, even though it's not very large.
-
I just went yesterday and couldn't agree more. Getting through the ticket check is a detour, the layout inside is confusing with all sorts of stairs and mezzanines, there are way too many souvenir shops, the restaurant food is terrible, and the exhibits aren't much to look at – often just one or two items displayed awkwardly behind frames or up several flights of stairs. Plus, many halls were under construction when I was there.
-
I went today and found it really lacking in substance. It definitely doesn't live up to the reputation of a major provincial museum for Guangdong.
-
Out of the hundred-plus museums I've visited, the Guangdong Provincial Museum is genuinely the worst...
-
Can you recommend some good ones? I haven't been to many, but I thought the Nanjing Museum (Nanbo) and the Hong Kong Palace Museum were pretty decent.
-
Probably the most boring provincial museum in the entire country. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes.

If you're interested in historical artifacts and the like, you might want to check out the Shisan Hang Museum or the Nanyue King Mausoleum Museum.
