The Bartlett School of Architecture has created a virtual reality tour of the Lin'an History Museum, designed by Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu's studio, which is yet to open to the public.
The Bartlett's virtual reality (VR) film allows viewers to explore the museum under construction at the foot of Gongchen Mountain in Lin'an, China.
