Children will love the interactive displays and indoor playground on the 4th floor. Adults will appreciate the descriptions in both English and Chinese. Everyone will love the crowd-pleasers like the robotic orchestra and walk-through maps of Sichuan's waterways. During weekdays this museum can either be overrun by local school groups or be so deserted it's almost creepy. Overall, quite good value for money, especially on a rainy day. 30.66249, 104.06321 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=30.66249&mlon=104.06321#map=17/30.66249/104.06321) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Chengdu) · [place page](/place/plc_MD918916FQ18WNPZ037XK49AG1) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 2. ## Sichuan Art Museum Sichuan Art Museum is a major contemporary art institution located in the heart of Chengdu’s Qingyang District near Tianfu Square in Sichuan Province, China.
