Good early China artifacts and information.
Huge! Some good exhibits, lacks natural history, just about China, impressive though.
This museum shows a very complete set of ancient Chinese arts plus very nice temporary exhibitions. Not crowded and free - worth the time spent.
I only visited the section about the recent history and it was all propaganda.
