Introduction to the Silk Museum: In October 1989, the Suzhou Silk Museum held an opening ceremony at the former site of the famous Ming Dynasty painter Tang Yin's temple. The new museum was completed on September 20, 1991. It is the first professional silk museum in my country. The overall color of the museum building is mainly white, reflecting the true color of silk. In the main gate square, you can see an east-west passage symbolizing the "Silk Road", intersecting with the fully enclosed modern white walls that run through the north and south of the main building. The wall makes a natural twist at the entrance, symbolizing the softness and elegance of silk. A row of modified mulberry trees stands on the top of the wall, with a circular hollow in the middle, which is like a stretch of ancient city wall on the Silk Road. In front of the wall are three white marble statues of a mulberry-picking girl, a yarn-weaver girl and a silk-weaver girl respectively.
