This is in the National Museum Of China, a huge institution facing Tienanmin Square. The collections are impressive, and important touring exhibits regularly come here. This is an important museum. This view is of the massive main lobby from the second floor galleries.

Paul, Stuart, Thanks so much. Always appreciated.

 

These places are sometimes closed for renovations, reorgs etc. From Wikipedia: "The museum was established in 2003 by the merging of the two separate museums that had occupied the same building since 1959: the Museum of the Chinese Revolution in the northern wing (originating in the Office of the National Museum of the Revolution founded in 1950 to preserve the legacy of the 1949 revolution) and the National Museum of Chinese History in the southern wing (with origins in both the Beijing National History Museum, founded in 1949, and the Preliminary Office of the National History Museum, founded in 1912, tasked to safeguard China's larger historical legacy)."
