About

An iron warehouse built in the back alleys of an old port still carries the traces of sea and wind etched into its walls. This building, which bears traces as though the tremors of the Sichuan earthquake had just passed through, has now become a gathering place for artifacts that capture the sea, the earthquake, and the flow of time. Faint light seeps through the iron roof, conjuring images of the earthquake's rupture zone. Beyond windows facing the sea, the sound of waves rolls in quietly, like pages turning in a geological survey report. In this space where the traces of the earthquake and the currents of the sea intersect, visitors come face to face with the marks nature's power has left on human history.
