Guangdong Museum of Revolutionary History, Revolutionary history museum in Yuexiu, Guangzhou, China

The Guangdong Museum of Revolutionary History is a museum in Guangzhou dedicated to the revolutionary movements that shaped Guangdong province from the 19th century through the founding of the People's Republic of China. It occupies a Republican-era building and holds documents, artifacts, and photographs arranged across several exhibition halls.

The museum was founded in 1959 on the grounds of a former provincial government building. Its collections start with the Opium Wars of the mid-19th century and follow the region's story through to 1949.

The building itself carries the story: it was the Guangdong Advisory Bureau, and on 9 November 1911 provincial representatives met here to declare Guangdong independent of the Qing. In 1921 Sun Yat-sen took his oath as extraordinary president in this hall, and the exhibition on the ground floor reconstructs that ceremony. Mao Zedong worked on the second floor as acting head of the Kuomintang's propaganda department in 1925.

The museum is located in central Guangzhou and is easy to reach by metro or bus. Entry to the permanent exhibitions is free, though visitors may need to show an ID at the entrance.

The building itself is a former advisory bureau: a two-storey Roman-style parliamentary structure of brick, timber and steel, with a curved entrance portico and four Gothic-style columns. Its main hall was where Sun Yat-sen took the oath as extraordinary president in May 1921, and the exhibition recreates that ceremony.
