Henan Museum

Henan Museum is one of China's oldest museums and the country's first national museum, built by both the national and local governments. The brand new site was relocated from Kaifeng to Zhengzhou numerous times before reopening on May 1, 1998, as one of China's largest comprehensive museums, with over 5000 pieces of First and Second Grade Cultural Relics.

The museum's building is well-built in a magnificent, primal, and exquisite shape with a distinct artistic style, making it an exceptional manifestation of Central Plain Culture. Other structures for comprehensive service and business, training, and relics storage are in the area, such as the pyramidal main pavilion in the central location, which is the most important exhibition gallery.

The former exhibition rooms were upgraded in 2009 to include a permanent exhibition hall called Ancient Astronomy, as well as four theme galleries and special exhibitions. There are eight exhibition halls in the Ancient Astronomy, with four on the first floor (Primitive Society, Xia & Shang Dynasty, Western Zhou, and Eastern Zhou), and four on the second floor (Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasty Hall, Han Jin Dynasty Hall, Sui & Tang Hall, and Song & Yuan Dynasty Hall).
