Not much to say except that it's a collection of photos and a large mural that shows the devastation caused by the dam.

If you are in Chongqing for a Three Gorges cruise, I highly recommend you start here. Entrance is free, and the displays and especially the scale model are MUCH better than at the Three Gorges Dam Visitors Center. Two hours is enough for most people.

We were surprised to realize that entrance to this museum was free of charge, which is quite rare in China. Having said that, the museum gives very basic information regarding the Three Gorges dam.
