Zhenjiang Museum was established in 1958, originally housed in the former British Consulate in Zhenjiang, which is one of the earliest consulates built by the UK along the Chinese coast and rivers, consisting of five buildings with an East Indian architectural style. The museum now covers an area of over 20,000 square meters, with a building area of 10,600 square meters.
The old museum area features an embroidery garden, rock garden, azalea garden, citrus garden, rose garden, and a water theater, as well as a 2,000 square meter artificial rockery and a waterfall that combines artificial and natural elements.
The exhibition halls display the ‘Bronzes of Wu Culture’, ‘Fine Ceramics through the Ages’, ‘Exquisite Ancient Gold and Silver Ware’, ‘Ancient Craftsmanship’, ‘Ming and Qing Dynasty Paintings’, and the ‘Jingjiang School of Painting and Calligraphy’, showcasing the museum’s collection of fine cultural relics and highlighting Zhenjiang’s three-thousand-year history and rich cultural heritage.
The museum is open all year round from Tuesday to Sunday from 09:00 to 17:00; closed on Mondays; and open on New Year’s Day, Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day from 09:00 to 17:00, with closures postponed on holidays.
