Nantong museum

Nantong Museum spans across five sections with traditional Chinese and Western architectural styles, featuring exhibition halls, gardens, and water features throughout the complex.

Founded in 1905 by educator Zhang Jian, Nantong Museum stands as one of China's earliest public museums, built during a period of growing interest in heritage preservation.

The museum maintains a collection of 50,000 objects, including Neolithic artifacts, local historical relics, and natural specimens that represent the region's development.

Located at 19 Qixiu Road in Chongchuan District, the museum operates daily from 5:30 AM to 5:00 PM and offers free admission to all visitors.

The museum complex incorporates a whale skeleton display in its western section, while connecting different exhibition spaces through botanical gardens and traditional tea houses.
