Tianjin Opera Museum is housed in the building
formerly known as the Guangdong Guildhall, which was built in 1907
and was frequented by Sun Yatsen and other Guangdong revolutionaries.
The former guildhall has an elaborate and luxurious
central hall where opera is performed during March and April. The
traditional Guangdong style courtyard now houses displays and exhibitions
relating to the history of operatic performances and performers
in Tianjin.
