Amazing structure and u should always take a short break during busy life in Beijing by paying a visit here. Historically awesome!!

Petr J.

Spectacular exhibition on ancient China on the lower level. There were no queues on Wednesday morning. Foreigners have to pickup their tickets on the right (follow the sign with pictures of passports )

Lotso Lilius

Book your free ticket online for easy entry, otherwise prepare to stand in a long queue (1 hr plus) with local tourists .

Elise ❥

Do note that the museum is closed on Mondays (as it is with many other museums in Beijing too).

Gonzalo Solis

There will be many lines , just be patient. And the "cloak room" is where you get the ticket.

Jon Worth

In Summer 2014 there's a temporary exhibition on the top floor about Chinese diplomacy. It's curated in a very partial way.

Elena Levitskaya

It is prohibited to wear white shoes , they will become black after intensive queuing with Chinese folks

Defeng Bob NIU

The museum exhibits are very rich and the facilities are also a very perfect, elegant environment. Can let you deeply experience the history of the country , proud of the country 's culture.

Emily Xu

A well done comprehensive museum of history and art of China. You can book online in advance to avoid queues.

Iris

Make a online reservation for easy and free entry, otherwise you have to queue outside the gate.

The large-scale exhibition Road to Rejuvenation, which was first staged in 2007 and was again shown to celebrate the 60th anniversary of New China's founding in late-2009, will reopen here on March 1. Read more

Huge place with multiple floors. We spent two hours just on the top floor. Free admission but bring your ID/passports with you

WEI WEI

The line can be crazy long in tourist seasons because of the nearby Tiananmen Sq

Ye Zhou

chinese largest museum , includes history, art and some others.

Jon Worth

Admission is not obvious. Non-Chinese have to turn to the right, show a passport & get a free ticket , then turn left & pass security.

Stephen D'Agostino

The cafe on the ground floor is very reasonable and a welcome place to stop and rest.

China Daily USA

After being closed for three years, the museum will re-open on April 1, with two permanent exhibitions , Ancient China and The Road to Rejuvenation, presenting China's different stages of history. Read more

Matt Hargrave

Best part is definitely the Ancient China exhibit that takes up the entire basement .

Jeresa

30min of animation of van Gogh, nothing real but at least it attracted a lot of kids.

noemi dado

China don't build if it not to big.

Super crowded place. You have to wait for 30 minutes to get the tickets and another one hour to get in the show room.

Bex Bean

Nice architecture . Chinese history is interesting.

Not crowded . Weekdays is so peaceful . The security is very severe.

John Chen

Long line for free admission . Any fser here?

Paco Pala

On a eu de la chance de venir en hiver , hors congés chinois, donc pas trop de monde. Ce musée est immense, prévoyez de ne pas tout voir en une journée et apportez quelque chose à grignoter.

Yaren B

Müzeye ulaşabilmek için en az üç güvenlik noktasından geçmeniz gerekiyor, yanınızda pasaportunuzu bulundurun, su sokmuyorlar. Giriş katı propoganda için ayrılmış. Giriş ücretsiz.İngilizce açıklama yok

Isabella Wang

博物馆免费 我是去看伦勃朗的展的 这个展的费用不高 成人50学生10块 顺带看了一下其他的 都是现代作品 没什么分量 司母戊鼎和四羊方尊没来得及看 作为一个国家级博物馆 经历史验证了有份量的馆藏真的太少太少了 参观的小孩教养太差 乱跑乱叫

Kamil Sözen

Müzeye girişteki prosedür ve bürokrasiyi aşarsanız güzel bir yer.

Ivan F.

Насмотритесь на горшки на год вперёд. Огромная коллекция , рассказывающая о традициях горшкостроения от палеолита до наших дней.

YR Roh

전시품도 많고 잘해놨어요~ 시간상 다 못봤지만 다시가서 보고싶을정도

Tai San Chen

sempre uma atração nova!

Ivan

Ako zelite da vidite sve, racunajte da dodjete ili odmah kad se otvori, ili dva dana da idete. Srecom, ulaz je besplatan uz pasos

Ken Supanat

เข้าชมฟรี ห้องน้ำสะอาด
