Housed in a pleasant, renovated double-courtyard, which used to be a local kindergarten, this small museum uses old photos, maps and artefacts, as well as some scale models, to explain the history of Shijia Hutong, and of Běijīng's hútòng districts in general. There are excellent English captions throughout, and the large-scale model of the whole local neighbourhood, with Shijia Hutong at its core, is particularly interesting to muse over.
