Datong Museum, Cultural institution in Yudong New District, China

The Datong Museum building features a dragon-inspired architectural design that houses extensive collections of regional artifacts and historical exhibitions.

The museum's collections document the period when Datong, known as Ping Cheng, functioned as a frontier between Chinese civilization and Eurasian nomads.

The institution maintains exhibitions of ancient ceramics, bronze tools, textiles, and religious artifacts that represent the heritage of Shanxi Province.

Visitors can reach the museum by taking bus lines 70 or 38 from Datong Ancient City to Datong University East Station, with a journey time of 50 minutes.

The prehistoric gallery contains dinosaur egg fossils and animatronic displays that present the paleontological discoveries from the surrounding region.
