Very glad I made it back to Nanjing, even if I only had time for the Nanjing Museum! The history section, really a kind of Jiangsu provincial museum, overflows with glorious artifacts, and, in the newly arranged displays of its 4-year renovation, revels in the wealth of its collection.
There's also a subterranean street recreating Republican Nanjing, complete with tea house and live opera; in a dowdy coffee shop I had coffee made vacuum style, as it apparently was when coffee first came to China in 1918.
A futuristic but largely past-focused "digital gallery" panders a little too much to young people's presumed inability to appreciate things that don't move, witness this animation of part of a famous painting below!
