湖北省博物馆
Hubei Provincial Museum
The Hubei Provincial Museum focuses on the archeology of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The tomb of Zeng Houyi, chime bells, Chu art, lacquerware and later local history show complex national and cultural exchanges that go beyond the single Central Plains narrative. The exhibition hall is large in size and may have scheduled music displays, so it is suitable for half a day of focused planning rather than a rush to check in.
