Yangzhou Double Museums

Guide

The China Block Printing Museum in Yangzhou and the New Museum of Yangzhou (collectively referred to as the "Double Museums") are located in the western new district of Yangzhou, on the west side of an attractively landscaped artificial lake, facing the Yangzhou International Exhibition Center across the water.

The museums currently house over 30,000 historical relics from Yangzhou, including lacquerware, jade artifacts, bronzes, and pottery from the Han Dynasty, ceramics from the mid-to-late Tang Dynasty, as well as calligraphy and paintings from the Qing Dynasty, primarily by the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou. There is also a Marco Polo Pavilion dedicated to commemorating this ancient friendly envoy from Venice.
