Harbin - Hayao No.6 Printmaking Museum

【An Art Palace "Delayed" by a Pharmaceutical Factory | Hayao No.6 Printmaking Museum, a Must-Visit "Eastern Louvre" in Harbin】 In Harbin, there is an art palace transformed from an old pharmaceutical factory—the Hayao No.6 Printmaking Museum. Known as the "Eastern Louvre," its architectural and artistic grandeur is definitely worth a special visit. 🏛️ A Journey Through European Architectural Wonders The museum was formerly the No.6 Pharmaceutical Factory of Hayao Group, designed based on the French Louvre, blending Classical, Baroque, and Rococo styles. Granite reliefs, marble decorations, golden domes, an 18-meter-high crystal chandelier, exquisite European sculptures, and Roman columns... every step feels like strolling through a European palace, and every snapshot looks like a cinematic masterpiece. 🎨 Tens of Thousands of Prints, A Flowing History of Art The collection includes nearly ten thousand print treasures, spanning from the ancient charm of the Ming and Qing dynasties to contemporary innovations, with a complete lineage. Especially unmissable are the Beidahuang prints, which vividly depict the grand epic of the Northeast reclamation era with strong and simple carving strokes. The fourth floor also features a factory history exhibition area, quietly telling the era’s story behind this building through old photos and artifacts. ✋ Carve and Print Yourself, Take Art Home The museum has a printmaking experience area where you can personally carve the block, ink it, and print, experiencing the creative process from nothing to something. The finished work is a unique Harbin souvenir. If you meet an old craftsman wearing a flat cap explaining, be sure to listen—the stories will make the scenes before your eyes even more vivid. 📌 Practical Information ▫️ Address: No. 326 Nanzhi Road, Daowai District ▫️ Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (last entry at 4:00 PM), closed on Mondays (except public holidays) ▫️ Admission: Free, reservation required via official app, or queue on site ▫️ Transportation: Metro Line 3 to Haihe East Road/Second Municipal Hospital Station, about 10-15 minutes walk; or bus lines 14, 201 to Heping Community Station ▫️ Photo Spots: Corner of the entrance gate, dome hall, in front of corridor sculptures 📷 Photographer:
