Architecture
The Museum at Night
The building is well known for its striking architecture. Its outer structure consists of an interwoven pattern of beams. Red beams run north–south and black beams run east–west.[5] The design is said to be inspired by chopsticks and the traditional Chinese meal of hot pot.[6] The design has also been compared to the white fig tree, which is common in Chongqing.[7]
