About Museum of Chinese Go

Boards and playing stones sit alongside books and the desks and chairs associated with play. This makes the visit about material culture as well as strategy: the equipment reveals how a game can be both a practical contest and a setting for scholarship. Displays can change, so use these collection themes to structure a visit rather than expecting one historic object.

What to look for

  • Go boards and playing stones illustrating the game’s material equipment.
  • Books and playing furniture connecting Go with study and social life.

Getting to Museum of Chinese Go

Go to the first floor of Tianyuan Building at No 2 Qianchao Road. Confirm the museum’s current visitor arrangements with the building or institution before making a dedicated trip.

Choose the building, exhibition or part of the historic area you most want to see, then leave time to explore its setting. Check the venue’s current opening and reservation arrangements directly; a place appearing on the map does not mean every building or gallery is accessible on your travel date.
