This collection highlights the city's evolution through the Southern Han Mausoleums and the modern Guangdong Museum. Specialized institutions like the Pearl River Beer Museum and the Guangzhou Metro Museum sit alongside contemporary art spaces, including the architecturally striking Times Museum and the Guangzhou Museum of Art.
