Musée d'art du bronze Zhu Bingren - Billets, heures d'ouverture, emplacement et points forts

The Zhu Bingren Bronze Art Museum (朱炳仁铜雕艺术博物馆) stands as China’s first grand residence dedicated to bronze sculpture art, crafted by Zhu Bingren and his apprentice Zhu Junmin. This museum showcases the essence of bronze art, seamlessly integrating elements from traditional Chinese art forms such as painting, sculpture, architecture, and calligraphy. Visitors to this museum can admire bronze calligraphy, bronze murals, bronze Buddhist statues, and more, providing a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich culture of bronze and Buddhism.

Spanning an impressive total area of nearly 3,000 square meters, the museum is a grand architectural feat. Its facade, walls, floors, doors, windows, roofs, pillars, and even furniture are all crafted from bronze, totaling over 150 tons of raw material. The architectural style of the museum predominantly reflects the typical Jiangnan residential style from the Ming and Qing dynasties, characterized by interconnected corridors and layered halls. The shimmering bronze structures exude an air of antiquity and opulence, earning it the nickname “Bronze House of Jiangnan.”

Among the museum’s standout exhibits are the bronze sculptures of the Western Three Saints. These saints, commonly seen in temples, include Amitabha Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva. Amitabha Buddha represents boundless light, boundless life, and boundless merit. Guanyin Bodhisattva embodies great compassion, universal compassion for all beings. Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva symbolizes joyous giving. Additionally, visitors can marvel at meticulously crafted scale models, such as the Montagne Emei‘s Golden Summit, featuring intricate details and movable doors and windows.
