兰州市博物馆

Yesterday afternoon while on holiday in Lanzhou I decided to visitthe Lanzhou Museum as I'd been told about it by a Chinese acquaintance.Access to the museum is easy from the railway station by taking the numberone bus to 240 Qingyang Road (the Museum's location),or by taxi.for a modest 30CNYtourist price cab fare.If you're travelling by bus,make sure the driver understands you want to go to the Qingyang Road Museum otherwise you may end up at the Gansu Provincial Museum by mistake, which is on the same bus route.Entry to the museum is by free ticket,and the museum itself consists of threeshowrooms.In the first showroom there are some amazing old photos reflectingaspects of life in early twentieth century Lanzhou,and some really old interestingartefacts including cooking pots,utensils,figurines etcOver in the other showrooms which are essentially art galleries there are some really nice traditional style Chinese paintings on display.I really enjoyed going to this Museum in Lanzhou.The only downside is that it is a very small museum,and there isn't much information about the exhibits in English next to the displays.However in saying that, the museum is still very interesting and well worth a visit.Especially if someone hasn't much time to go to a big Museum such as the Gansu Provincial Museum.

This museum has an extensive exhibit of prehistoric man for the lanzhou area. i was rather struck by the similarity of the pottery on display here and what I've seen in native indian exhibits in the USA. Also, there is an extensive dinosaur exhibit here. Another striking thing I noticed in this museum was the large number of bills thrown to religious artifacts

知道大名顶顶的兰州博物馆是因为里面有震馆的宝贝—马踏飞燕，这个地球人应该都知道哈。不过兰州博物馆里面最主要的还是展出古丝绸之路的过程和历史，还是挺好看的，里面有免费的开水和座位，还有就是进门免门票哦

博物馆里的藏品还是挺丰富的，有几个不同主题的展区，还有讲解员，他们讲解的十分详细。展品挺多的，唐卡保存的蛮完整的，很精致。黄河奇石的形状很是不规则，灯光下有点金属的光泽，还有巨大的动物骨架。值得前去参观。

因为有时间就去了兰州市博物馆,在那里凭身份证兑换门票（免费的），每层都有讲解员,听着讲解可以了解很多当地的历史,去看“马踏飞燕”，很不错

兰州博物馆凭身份证就可以免费领票入门，连保安师傅都那么博学！我一边看，保安师傅还一边讲作补充，此博物馆对了解兰州历史是十分必要的。从图片中得知原来兰州以前还有城墙，还有羊皮筏子太吸引人了！不对听保安师傅说的牛皮筏子更吸引人！

We run out of time, so allow a half day. We visited before we started the silk road so it was an excellent introduction. One of the best we have visited in china

This very new museum is very attractive .The historical exhibition is very rich . It contains a lot of items found in various tombs in Gansu Province . The most important is the wonderful "Flying horse" , a little bronze statue representing a galloping horse with a swallow under its hoof .There is also a paleological section with some dinosaurs skeletons . The most remarkable is the "Mamenkisaurus" , a very huge sauropod of 100 million years ago .
