I wasn't expecting such a beautiful, interesting and large museum outside of the city. I consider this a don't miss. Be sure to tour the Yin Yu Tang! It is amazing how you can be transported somewhere so quickly. Extremely well done! Need to revisit soon. More

we go to the PEM about 2x / year. they have very well curated, interactive exhibitions on the 1st floor and their standing collection of American and Far East art and artifacts are also impressive. cafe is ok, nothing special. nice gift shop. very accessible museum in a lovely building More

Too much to see in one day! helpful staff. Great store. They packed and shipped my purchases and everthing arrived quickly and was fine. Well packed, nothing broken. Hope to go back when I'm traveling in that direction. More

I particularly liked the Chinese House, the interactive exhibits, and the presentation of sailing artifacts. I am not much of a museum buff but I would recommend this one. More

It is ever changing with artifacts that are of interest to young and old. It is well run, reasonably priced and parking is close by. More
