The Gansu Provincial Museum
,covering a total area of 16.5 acres, is the most impressive
museum in the province. This is one of the best sights
in the city, and for those who are in the western section
of Lanzhou, a visit is well worthwhile. The museum complex
is made up of three separate buildings linked by corridors,
and further divided into two sections, a natural resources
section downstairs and historical exhibits upstairs.
The museum houses a variety of collections including
color-painted pottery from the Neolithic Period, murals
from the Wei and Jin periods, bamboo slips for writing
from the Han time, and bronze artifacts. Most archeological
finds in the region of Hexi Corridor are kept here.
It is well worth a visit.
