Guangzhi Yuan, historic building in Jinan, China

Guangzhi Yuan is a single-storey courtyard complex on Guangzhiyuan Street in Jinan, built 1905–1910 and oriented south-to-north. Its exhibition hall spans 15 bays across, the widest in Jinan at the time, with a long continuous display wall. The plan places the display room at the centre, reading and research rooms at the sides, and a chapel behind.

The museum began in the late 1800s as the Yidu Museum, founded by a British missionary, and was relocated to Jinan in 1904, becoming Guangzhi Yuan. It later served as an educational center before reopening in 1956 as the Shandong Provincial Museum.

The name Guangzhi Yuan means 'Academy of Broad Knowledge', chosen when the museum opened in Jinan in 1905. Its 13 display categories ranged from animals and plants to astronomy, hygiene and history, and it also served as an exhibition and rest space supporting the nearby South Gate Baptist Church. All its directors, from John Sutherland Whitewright onward, were British Baptist missionaries.

The old Guangzhi Yuan compound stands at 146 Guangzhi Yuan Street, inside the former south-gate earthen wall line marked today by Wenhua West Road. It faces north, runs 185 m north to south and about 70 m east to west, so allow time to walk its linked courtyards. In 2005 hospital expansion led to the whole complex being moved to a new site for protection.

The building was moved as a whole in 2005 because of the expansion of Qilu Hospital. The historian Jian Bozan, in his Zhongwai Lishi Nianbiao, singled it out as a representative of Chinese museum architecture.
