I suggest you spend a day to see the exhibition, it's worth it! I didn't look at each piece carefully, and I could barely finish it in one day. I suggest you go to the Ancient China Hall first. I thought I had plenty of time, but it was noon when I finished this area. I had a rough look in the afternoon because time was tight. I was in a hurry and barely finished it in one day. That's all I can think of for now. I hope it helps you. Remember to take beautiful photos after reading~
