This is a place where simplicity, calmness and fineness met. It is the only one modern museum design that I fall in love for the first sight. Haa! Thank you I.M.Pei () , you are truly inspired, for designing such amazing architecture work. I wish I can stay in the museum for months to experience the feel of calmness and purity.
