The exhibition’s general theme of the museum is “Liangzhu culture witnessed the five-thousand-year culture of China”. It highlights the significance of Liangzhu culture in comparison with its counterparts of the same kind or at the same time in China or in the world.

Liangzhu Culture and Art Center
At the beginning of its design, the designer Tadao Ando positioned this construction as a place where children could have a conversation and the “children” here refers to everyone. Villagers in Liangzhu Cultural Village affectionately name the Liangzhu Culture and Art Center as “Big Roof”, under which there are “three big boxes”, namely, Exhibition Building, Culture Building and Education Building. Here there are non-scheduled markets, art exhibitions, and various themed activities.
