Chinese Academy of Cultural Heritage

The Chinese Academy of Cultural Heritage operates seven departments focused on preserving and researching the cultural relics of China through scientific methods and techniques.

Founded in 1935 as the Cultural Relics Finishing Committee, the institution changed its name after 1949 when it integrated into the Cultural Relics Bureau.

The institution manages research programs that document and protect traditional Chinese heritage sites, including temples, tombs, and archaeological discoveries across the nation.

Researchers and heritage professionals can access specialized training programs, scientific laboratories, and extensive archives containing documentation about Chinese cultural artifacts.

The academy has contributed to international preservation efforts, with its staff receiving recognition for their work protecting monuments at Angkor in Cambodia.
