Tianjin Museum
Museum in Tianjin, China From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tianjin Museum (Chinese: 天津博物馆; pinyin: Tiānjīn Bówùguǎn) is the largest museum in Tianjin, China, exhibiting a range of cultural and historical relics significant to Tianjin.[1] The museum lies in Yinhe Plaza in the Hexi District of Tianjin and covers an area of about 50,000 sq metres.[2] The unique architectural style of the museum, whose appearance resembles that of a swan spreading its wings, has meant that it is quickly becoming one of the city's iconic buildings. The museum was designed by the Japanese architect Mamoru Kawaguchi and constructed by Shin Takamatsu Architect and Associates.[3]
