What's going on with the Gansu Museum? Even the astragalus isn't straight! (With guide)

0️⃣ yuan in, 500 out, the bent astragalus wants to steal my money! The cultural creations at the Gansu Museum are really so ugly they make people annoyed, I have to buy them all! Would I still come to the Gansu Museum if it didn't have these cultural creations? Hmm... I'm really hesitant! But if you ask whether it's worth making a special trip just for these cultural creations? The answer is definitely yes. ✨✨This guide covers the visiting route, cultural creations introduction, and explains everything in one go. 📍Gansu Provincial Museum Tickets🎫: Free reservation (closed on Mondays) can be booked three days in advance 💎Treasures of the museum: Bronze Galloping Horse (Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow), Bronze Galloping Horse Guard of Honor, Human-head-shaped Pottery Jar, Amphibian-patterned Pottery Jar 📱Explanation: Free explanation at 10 am/2 pm, self-guided explanation 20 yuan with earphones 🧳Free luggage storage, right at the entrance, manual storage requires showing the reservation screenshot of the day, self-service does not. 🔍Stamping is at the exit of the cultural creation area on the first floor 🚗No parking lot, need to park at Lanzhou Center across the street Actually, there are quite a few things to complain about at the Gansu Museum (not that I don't like it, I just hope it gets better), the exhibition layout feels a bit too messy, especially the dinosaur and revolution sections which don't quite match, and the lighting is rather chaotic, making the viewing experience not very good. 💚💚Best visiting route💚💚 2️⃣nd floor-3️⃣rd floor-1️⃣st floor Silk Road (all the treasures of the museum are here) - Paleontology Fossils (optional) - Red Gansu (optional) - Buddhism - Painted Pottery - Ancient Elephant and Dinosaur (optional) - Cultural Creation Shop - Xijin Coffee 📍Xijin Coffee Open all year round (also open on Mondays), divided into three parts 🔷Cultural Creation Area Selling all the cultural creations around the Gansu Museum, extremely cute, some are co-branded with cultural relics, some are co-branded with Gansu specialties. Cultural relic co-branded giant salamander doll, cute frog doll Fridge magnets, the best-looking is the Bronze Galloping Horse Gansu's not-so-local specialties are all cute, astragalus, frozen pear, potato, pepper, lily, cherry, yak, spicy hot pot, casserole (bean sprouts are super cute) Bookmarks, earrings, pins are all super well made, can't resist buying 🍪Cultural Creation Cookies There are Bronze Galloping Horse styles, and human-faced pottery jar styles, three pieces for 15💰, a total of 9 styles, very solid, taste is average. ☕️Cultural Creation Coffee and Desserts Cultural creation coffee has patterns, there are two styles, both are little green horses. There is also a mousse that is a 1:1 replica of the blue lotus glass drag cup (said to be not tasty) 🎨Xijin Art Gallery The second floor is an art gallery Recently there is an exhibition of Zimbabwean sculptures
