Jilin Provincial Museum, Provincial museum in Changchun, China
Jilin Provincial Museum is a history and art museum at 1666 Yongshun Road in Nanguan District, Changchun. Its galleries hold more than 120,000 objects, with particular strength in Chinese painting and calligraphy, Goguryeo and Balhae artefacts, Manchu material, and relics of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army.
The museum opened in Jilin City on 27 January 1952. In 1954 it moved to Changchun, where it occupied the former Manchukuo imperial palace site. In 2000 it relocated to 3188 Renmin Street, and in 2004 it was renamed Jilin Provincial Museum. Construction of the Yongshun Road building began in 2007, and the museum opened there on 28 April 2016.
The collections display works from ancient kingdoms and calligraphy from the Song Dynasty that shaped artistic traditions in the region. Visitors can observe how these creative practices remain visible through the displayed pieces.
The museum is at 1666 Yongshun Road in Nanguan District, not in the city centre. It opens Tuesday to Sunday from 9:00 to 16:00 and closes on Mondays, except national public holidays, and on New Year's Eve. Line 6 of the Changchun metro stops at the Sheng Bowuyuan station beside the building.
The museum's roughly 120,000 objects were moved to the Yongshun Road building in December 2015, and it opened to the public on 28 April 2016. Among the pieces are two scrolls painted by the Northern Song poet Su Shi and a silver belt hook with gold gilding from Buyeo, the 'Bing Wu Shen Gou'.
