The Poly Art Museum is an often-overlooked museum situated on the 9th floor of the New Poly Plaza building. It specializes in Chinese art, with a particularly strong collection of ancient bronze vessels and Buddhist sculptures. The museum is affiliated with the Poly Auction company and is notable for housing four of the original twelve animal heads from the Yuanmingyuan (Old Summer Palace) fountain. While relatively small, the museum offers a calm and carefully curated experience, often with few visitors.
