In addition to the above 12 exhibition halls, the temporary exhibition hall on the first floor of Shanxi Museum is also not to be missed, with various themed exhibitions from time to time. 📌Little Tips: 1. There are many treasures in the Shanxi Museum, and it is impossible to see everything in one day if you carefully observe each exhibition hall. It is recommended to first choose the theme exhibition hall that interests you the most. I entered the museum right when it opened at 9 am, and in the morning, I visited the 'Architectural Splendor' and 'Buddhist Charm' halls. In the afternoon, I visited the 'Melting Pot of Ethnicities', and for the other halls, I could only have a quick look and hurried through, so that I barely finished all the exhibition halls by the time the museum closed. 2. The services of Shanxi Museum are quite in place. In addition to regular explanations and audio guides, there are also free services for luggage storage (including large suitcases), baby strollers, and wheelchairs.
