Kristyn and I went to the Shandong Provincial Museum today. It’s free if you bring your passport and the collection is excellent.

A good place to spend a chilly, gray day. It wasn’t too crowded, yet there were lots of other people of all ages so it doesn’t feel like a tomb.

Bronze

Painting

There are some English translations of the signs so you’ll learn a bit about prehistoric cultures, Prince Lu, Confucius and more.
