Stilwell Museum, Military history museum in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, China.
The Stilwell Museum is housed in a three-story residence that displays military offices, living spaces, and meeting rooms furnished with items from the 1940s. The rooms are arranged to show how soldiers and officers lived and worked together in this building.
General Joseph Stilwell directed military operations in the China-Burma-India Theater from this location during 1942 to 1944. The building served as a key command center during an important period of World War II for Allied cooperation in Asia.
The museum displays how Chinese and American soldiers worked together during World War II through photographs, letters, and personal items on the walls. The rooms show how officers communicated and made decisions in their daily work.
The museum is easy to reach as it is located centrally and well-connected by public transportation in the district. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since exploring all three floors requires walking up and down stairs.
Four authentic American military vehicles from World War II are parked in the museum courtyard, preserved from a private collection. These vehicles give visitors a rare chance to see the actual equipment that was used during that period.
