China Art Palace
China Art Palace (中华艺术宫)
The China Art Palace, also known as the China Art Museum, is a museum of modern Chinese art. The museum is housed in the iconic China Pavilion of Expo 2010 that looks like something out of Minecraft.
I highly recommend seeing the exhibition that is on the top floor called Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival (清明上河图). It is an electronic rendition of the original that spans about 100 meters along the wall with undulating, moving scenes. Very cool and worth the small entry fee.
