The Ningbo Museum in Yinzhou District was designed by Wang Shu, though the infobox lists no architect. It opened on December 5, 2008. The article names no client and no construction dates. Wang Shu won the Lu Ban Prize in 2009, which the text calls China's top architecture prize. The text names no style.
The text describes the design as a combination of mountains, water and ocean, with upper floors that fracture into five sharply angled sections. The first three levels form a square around a central courtyard. Walls use stones and bricks salvaged from demolished buildings, in the wapan technique of mismatched stone or tile bonded with thin lime layers. Angular walls use bamboo and concrete.
The museum covers history and traditional customs. The Li Yuan Photography Arts Museum opened on September 28, 2013. The article gives no hours.
