Nanjing Museum

The former National Central Museum, China's oldest museum, was founded in 1933 after the closure of Nanjing Museum, one of China's top three museums and the country's first significant national comprehensive museum. It is one of China's top eight national museums, with collections that rank among the top three in the country. Relics from the Palaeolithic era to the present day include stoneware, crockery, jades, bronze ware, porcelain, painting and calligraphy, needlework, folklore, and art pieces of high historical and cultural worth, totaling 1,062 cultural relics of higher national grade.

With the addition of the four galleries of Temporary, Republican Period, Intangible Heritage, and Digital Gallery based on the two galleries of Art and History, the Nanjing Museum now has six separate galleries within one museum structure. Aside from the fundamental exhibitions, Nanjing Museum hosts more than ten temporary exhibitions each year, including collection theme exhibitions, essence displays of cultural treasures from neighboring provinces, and modern art exhibitions.
