Nanjing Museum

Founded in 1933, the Nanjing Museum is one of China's oldest and most prestigious cultural institutions. With over 430,000 artifacts spread across six themed halls — History, Art, Special Exhibitions, Digital, Republic of China, and Folk Art — it offers the most comprehensive overview of Chinese material culture under one roof. The Republic of China hall uniquely recreates a 1930s Nanjing street scene, complete with period shops and a working post office.
