Three of Beijing's Most Intriguing Museums

Beijing has it's fair share of museums, and though some might be straightforward -- focused on the city's history, planning and whatnot -- other's are a little exotic, a little offbeat, or maybe downright bizzare.

1. Beijing Qisi Miaoxiang Jianya Hall 北京奇思妙想减压馆

Feeling stressed out? There's a museum in Beijing to help you get over all that pressure. Once you enter Qisi Miaoxiang Jianya Hall, you'll be able to spot a room where you can scream as loudly as possible to vent out all the anger you have. Here, at the museum, you can also have a pillow fight with your friends under the gorgeous, fluorescent light.

But it's not all about letting out the stress here. There's even a room filled with gold. Everything in this room is golden: golden bathtub, golden toilet, golden basin, and a golden mirror. Want to know what it feels like to live your life like the richest person in this world, why not take a selfie by the golden bathtub?

2. Huode 3D Museum 活的3D博物馆

This is one of the most interactive art museums visitors can experience in Beijing. Here, you can become a part of the paintings.

Bring your camera! Impress your friends with photos of you in the forest, interacting with an enormous shark, pouring wine for someone from the medieval times, or even lighting up a pipe for Vincent Van Gogh!

3. Beijing Museum of Broken Relationships

Picture a museum that documents heartbreak stories of people from around the world with personal possessions, and this is what this museum is all about.

Visitors will be able to see notes in memory of relationships that ended in a sad divorce or a less-than-amicable breakup, or admire so-called love souvenirs that recorded memories of past lovers. Of course, not all relationships ended on a good note. Visitors will also be able to see t-shirts with bold characters that read: "Get out of my life", or "I should’ve never loved you."

Museum of Broken Relationships is originally from Zagreb, Croatia, just like Shanghai's Museum of Illusions. So these are franchises.
Huode 3D is nice visit, just like 798.

But National museum on Tiananmen is huge dissapointment. 3rd largest museum in the world and except basement China History part, nothing else to see. Waste of space.

And here I thought Musuem of Broken Relationships was that stack of -- moldy by now, no doubt-- old photos in bottom of a plastic storage tub in my brother's basement, back in Canaduh!
