Beijing Police Museum

Beijing Police Museum, Police museum in central Beijing, China.

The Beijing Police Museum occupies the former Citibank building at 36 Dongjiaominxiang in Dongcheng District, a four-storey Western classical structure of granite with a two-storey Ionic colonnade. Its four exhibition halls cover about 2,000 square metres and hold over 7,000 objects from the Ming dynasty to the present. The ground-floor hall opens with a large photograph of Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and police officers.

The museum occupies the former Citibank building, constructed in 1914 on Dongjiaominxiang Street in the Legation Quarter. After the bank closed, the building served as the Beijing police visa office until 1998 and was listed as a Beijing cultural relic in 1995. In 2000, police chief Qiang Wei proposed converting it into a police museum, designed by Tsinghua University's Academy of Arts & Design. It opened on 1 July 2001, and the building was included in the fifth batch of National Key Cultural Relics as part of the Legation Quarter complex.

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.
