Henan Museum

Henan Museum is a history museum in the region with over 130,000 cultural objects from archaeological digs. The collection spans bronzes, jade, and gold items covering thousands of years.

The museum was founded in the 1920s and opened its doors in the modern period. During wartime, parts of the collection were moved elsewhere to protect them.

The collections display bronzes, jade, and gold items that reflect the long development of civilization in central China. These objects come from archaeological digs across the region and show the skills of ancient craftspeople.

The museum is open most weekdays and offers free entry for visitors with valid documents. It is wise to check ahead for guided tours or special exhibitions.

The museum preserves an ancient bone flute considered one of China's oldest musical instruments. This rare piece shows how people made music thousands of years ago.
