The Museum of Wu, spanning 18,000 square meters, is situated along China's Grand Canal, near the 1,200-year-old Baodai Bridge.

The first floor is dedicated to special exhibitions, educational programs, and public services, while the second floor features permanent displays that delve into Wu culture. Its antique collections include treasures such as the Painted Pottery Pot Tubular Ears, the Tiger-shaped Jade Ornaments, and the Bronze Sword, with the oldest dating back to the prehistoric period.

In addition to being a repository for cultural relics and exhibitions, the museum serves as a dynamic public space, blending exhibition, education, cultural experiences, and cultural consumption into a comprehensive learning and communication hub.
