Beijing Police Museum, Police museum in central Beijing, China.
The Beijing Police Museum is housed in central Beijing and displays law enforcement artifacts spanning many decades, including uniforms, weapons, and investigative equipment from different periods. The galleries present objects and documents that trace the development of policing over more than a century and a half.
The museum is housed in a former Bank of New York building dating to 1914, located in a historic quarter where foreign embassies once operated. The building itself reflects an earlier period when Beijing was shaped by foreign presence and influence.
The exhibits show how law enforcement shaped daily life and public order in Beijing across different eras. Visitors can see how security practices reflected broader changes in how the city was governed and how people lived.
Visitors need to present identification when arriving, and the museum operates on a limited weekly schedule. Planning your visit according to opening days helps you make the most of your time there.
The museum's collections preserve records of significant investigations and crime cases that affected the city's security across different decades. Such specialized documentation is uncommon in other Beijing museums.
