The Suzhou Museum of Imperial Kiln Brick was designed by Chinese architect Liu Jiakun. It is built on the historic site of Lumu Imperial Kiln in Xiangcheng, Suzhou, and is dedicated to protecting the valuable historic relics there. It was an eye-opening experience to visit the ancient grounds and the museum which was a visual treat from entrance to exit. Of particular interest was the interior of the ancient kiln (seen below).
