About
Nopeat faktat: Step into hushed galleries where over 600,000 jade, porcelain, and ink treasures shimmer under soft lights, their tiny brushstrokes and kiln marks rewarding close, patient viewing. A rotating exhibit schedule means you might stumble on imperial seals, miniature carvings, or scrolls that rarely travel, so every visit can feel like uncovering a secret.
Kohokohdat: Walk up to the tiny, pale-green 'Jadeite Cabbage' and you'll spot a miniature locust and katydid tucked into the carved veins, the leaves standing about 18 centimeters tall yet carved with insect legs so fine they catch the light. Nearby the 'Meat-shaped Stone' shines like a lacquered slice of braised pork, its layered bands and glossy surface tricking your eyes and making many visitors laugh out loud.
Insider tips
- Buy timed-entry tickets online to skip the ticket lines and secure guided tour slots.
- Head to the basement early for the jadeite cabbage and meat-shaped stone before tour groups arrive.
- Wear comfortable shoes, galleries are extensive and involve a fair amount of walking and standing.
- Photography is allowed in many areas without flash, but obey signs in special exhibitions and avoid tripods.
