Yunnan Dali Folklore Museum - the only museum that doesn't put exhibits in a safe box

Weishan Folklore Museum is located in Renwen Lane, South Street, Weishan Ancient City, Dali Prefecture, and is a private museum. The predecessor of this museum was the mansion of the eldest daughter of Liang Meisheng, one of the four major families during the Weishan Tusi period (now known as Miss Liang's Mansion). Weishan Folklore Museum has collected more than 30,000 antiques from various dynasties. The entire museum is divided into different exhibition areas, which are actually rooms in the mansion. Except for the first two rooms, the other rooms are connected. The museum owner said it was a kind of nine-turn skill, I can't remember clearly, constantly opening and closing doors, I can't imagine what the next room will look like. Every time the museum owner opens a room with a key, she explains the antiques on display. There are no display stands, no spotlights, and even they are just randomly stacked and stored, from Shisui culture, Mabang culture, minority culture, Buddhism, Taoism culture to armor horses, wood carvings, strange stones, daily necessities, clothing, music, scientific research... Although it is messy, it is the first time I have seen such a complete collection in a private museum. Under the explanation of the museum owner, the entire visit lasted about 1.5 hours, and you can also sit in the yard by yourself after the visit. Although many exhibits are marked as not touchable, the museum owner said that if you want to sit, you can experience the feeling of being an invigilator and let me sit for a while. Everyone who goes there must ask the museum owner where to sit first. Address: No. 21, Renwen Lane, Nanzhao Town, Weishan Yi and Hui Autonomous County, Dali Prefecture The experience ticket is 20 yuan per person, don't say the charge is expensive, it's really worth it, okay, the price of a cup of milk tea can get such a shocking visit experience and even accompanied by the museum owner's personal explanation
