Jinan Museum, Archaeological museum in Jinan, China
The Jinan Museum is an archaeological museum in Shandong displaying over 210,000 artifacts across its halls, including ancient relics, traditional art, and excavated items from the province. The collections are organized into sections that focus on different time periods and art forms.
The museum was founded in December 1958 and developed from earlier institutions, including one started by a British missionary in 1887. This founding history connects the modern collection efforts with research that began decades before the museum's establishment.
The collections feature ceramics and bronze objects that show how artistic techniques changed across different Chinese dynasties. Visitors can see paintings and calligraphy that reflect the artistic traditions valued in this region.
The museum sits at the intersection of Li Shan Road and Jing Shiyi Road in a central location. It is open daily except Mondays, giving you flexibility to plan your visit most days of the week.
The collection includes Liuli colored glass artifacts that represent technical achievements in historical Chinese glassmaking. These distinctive glass pieces are uncommon in other museums and show a specialized craft that flourished in ancient China.
