Cantonese Opera Art Museum
粤剧艺术博物馆
A Lingnan garden-style museum by Lizhi Lake, showcasing Cantonese opera costumes, props and history. Its pavilions, waterside halls and corridors are photogenic.
The Cantonese Opera Art Museum is on Enning Road in Liwan District, next to Yongqing Fang and Lizhi Lake. It opened in 2016 and is designed in the style of a Lingnan garden. Exhibits cover the history of Cantonese opera, its role types, classic plays, costumes and headdresses, and musical instruments and props. An ancient stage also presents Cantonese opera excerpts from time to time. The waterside pavilions, covered corridors and Manchu-style windows are great for photos. Entry is free. The museum is closed on Mondays and requires a reservation. It is about a 10-minute walk from Huangsha Station or Changshou Road Station on Metro Line 1. Combine it with Yongqing Fang, Lizhi Lake and the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall.
