The Art Museum in Dazu is located outside the Dazu Caves. The museum looks brand new and have a few levels. The exhibits are also placed in newly dim lighting and the whole area is modern. But there was one problem: there are many artefacts who few descriptors beyond what the item is and sometimes which era it comes from. The information is too little for anymore unfamiliar with Buddhism to understand. So the journey inside the museum is one where you will enjoy walking but learn little.

It's tempting to not go in here as you can walk straight past to get to the carvings but it gives a great history of the site, other sites around China and how they have managed the restoration of the site. Nicely laid out and very well air conditioned. The entrance has a 3d simulation of some of carvings across the 5 grotto sites in the local mountains..very well done.
