About Zhoushan Museum

The blue façade with irregular silver-grey forms echoes islands and reefs. Inside, marine specimens introduce the surrounding waters, while a fleet of model vessels shows the specialized boats that supported fishing, transport and services at sea. Compare the natural-history material with the fishing-life exhibition: together they explain how the marine environment shaped tools, livelihoods and the organization of island communities.

What to look for

  • The model fishing fleet includes different working and support vessels.
  • Marine specimens and the island-like façade connect the museum with the archipelago’s natural setting.
