When was the last time you visited a museum in which almost every collection could be touched? American lawyer Mitch Dudek built a private museum visitors can have direct contact with all the exhibits on display in the ancient city of Suzhou
The museum (name)Six Arts because it is about the six senses and stimulating all of your senses. You can touch things. You can smell things. It's different from other museums. Founded in 2018, the four-storey museum now (house)more than 40,000 Chinese antiques dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties(1368-1911)，with another 60,000 items (store)in warehouses(仓库).
Having never seen or used such items in his own country, Dudek is filled strong admiration of the delicate designs and complicated carvings of these old items. "I think they are just beautiful, and I should collect them," said Dudek, (add) that these items may be ignored once (random) packed in the warehouses, but they could shine again through restoration.
"As more and more Chinese understand and offer me some of their old (belong),collections in the museum have become more varied and abundant. Now I plan to invite scholars and craftsmen to discover more (culture)and historical stories behind them," he said.
"The collections not only help revisit old times but also present sense of beauty," said Xu Yun, a visitor from Shanghai.
