Lushun Museum, Museum complex in Lushunkou District, Dalian, China
Lushun Museum occupies two early 20th-century buildings and displays a varied collection of bronzes, coins, and artifacts from the region and beyond. The rooms also feature burial finds and other objects from Central Asian archaeological work.
It was founded in 1915 during Japanese control of the region and continued operating through that period. In 1951, the Soviet Union returned a major art collection to China, which greatly expanded the holdings.
The exhibition halls show works that document trade routes and cultural exchanges between East and West over many centuries. You can see how people in different eras were connected through commerce and ideas.
The site is reachable by public buses with a short walk from the nearest stop to the buildings. Wear comfortable shoes since you will be walking along streets to access the complex.
The collection holds mummified remains gathered during expeditions to Central Asia between 1901 and 1910. These discoveries were recovered from burial sites and are preserved in the exhibition spaces, making the institution an unusual repository for such finds.
