The Nanjing Museum is a wonderful place to spend a lot of time. I got stuck in a most fascinating art (contemporary painter)show that I spent two days there...in just the show. So be sure to check out the temporary exhibits as well as the permanent collections. Also, the book store is a wonderland of books on Chinese art and I bought many volumes which will never be seen in the US. Additionally, there is a very lovely, quiet, air conditioned lunch, tea, ice cream parlor right next to the Museum.
