Design studio Second Story makes beautiful exhibit sites and Yin Yu Tang: A Chinese Home is one of my favorites. Take a guided tour through a traditional Chinese home and learn about the ginormous family that lived there for eight generations. The 3-d model highlights rooms and structural elements as you marvel at old artifacts like the nail-less wooden joints and the family’s ornate porcelain urinal. And if you’re ever near Boston, you can visit the real deal at the Peabody Essex Museum, where the 200-year-old Chinese house was brought and reassembled.
