Geological Museum of Guizhou

Geological Museum of Guizhou, Geological museum in Guanshanhu District, China.

The Geological Museum of Guizhou occupies a 40,004.5 m² complex of five buildings at the junction of Yuntan South Road and Xingzhu West Road in Guanshanhu District, Guiyang. Its main building, designed by the Fourth Branch of the Guizhou Provincial Architectural Design and Research Institute, takes the form of a 'Guizhou stone', combining elements of the Fanjingshan mushroom rock, sedimentary layers, terraced fields and the initials 'GZ'. Inside, four permanent halls cover 'Mysterious Guizhou', 'Colorful Guizhou', 'Rich Guizhou' and 'Striving Guizhou'.

The museum traces its origin to a 1957 provincial geological data office. In 2008 the Guizhou Geological Data Archive was established on Baoshan North Road in Yunyan District. Construction of the new building began in October 2016 and was completed in December 2019. The archive was renamed the Geological Museum of Guizhou in August 2020 and opened on 14 August 2021; it was rated a National First-Class Museum in May 2024.

The four permanent exhibitions are named "Mysterious Guizhou", "Colorful Guizhou", "Rich Guizhou" and "Striving Guizhou", and the building's shape draws on Fanjingshan's mushroom rock, sedimentary layers, terraced fields and the initials "GZ". The design by the Guizhou Architectural Design and Research Institute won the 2019 Huangguoshu Cup and the 2020 Luban Prize.

The museum stands at the junction of Yuntan South Road and Xingzhu West Road in Guanshanhu District. It is free and open Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00–17:00, with last entry at 16:00; it closes Mondays, except national statutory holidays. During the COVID-19 period, visits had to be booked in advance through the official WeChat account.

The building's shape combines the Mushroom Stone of Fanjing Mountain, sedimentary rock layers, terraced fields and the initials "GZ"; the design won the 2020 China Construction Engineering Luban Prize. The basement holds a fossil preparation laboratory where specimens are cleaned and repaired.
