About Beijing Lu Xun Museum
The small courtyard house that the writer Lu Xun remodelled and lived in from 1924 to 1926, where he wrote Wild Grass and other works, kept with its furnishings including the tiny room he lived and wrote in, known as the 'tiger's tail'. Beside it a museum opened in 1956 tells the story of his life, drawing on his manuscripts, letters and books and the prints and stele rubbings he collected.
