Arthur M. Sackler Museum of Art and Archaeology at Peking University

The museum displays over 10,000 artifacts from Chinese civilizations, including bronze items, jade relics, and archaeological findings spanning 280,000 years of history.

Founded in 1993 through collaboration between Dr. Arthur M. Sackler and Peking University, the museum emerged from China's first Archaeology Research Office established in 1922.

The museum houses the skeleton of Jinniushan Man, dating back 250,000 years, representing early human presence in the region through scientific documentation.

Located in the western campus area, the museum welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, requiring passport identification for entry through the West Gate.

The building incorporates Ming Dynasty architectural elements around a central courtyard, connecting to the restored Singing Crane Gardens of former Yuanming Yuan.
