Zhejiang Provincial Museum, Provincial museum in Hangzhou, China.

The museum spans across multiple branches, including the Solitary Hill Branch and Wulin Branch, containing over 100,000 cultural artifacts and historical items.

Founded in 1929 as the West Lake Museum on Gushan Island, the institution expanded with a new building near Wulin Square in December 2009.

The permanent collection includes celadon wares, ancient bronze mirrors, traditional paintings, calligraphy works, and artifacts from the Neolithic Age through Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The museum opens from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily except Mondays, with branches accessible through local buses and metro systems at no entrance cost.

The Wenlan Pavilion section houses remnants of the Complete Library in Four Branches of Literature, modeled after the Tianyi Pavilion in Ningbo.
