Located beside Tianfu Square in downtown Chengdu, Chengdu Museum is a national first-class museum and the largest comprehensive urban museum in southwest China. Founded in 1958, its new building features an elegant "gold inlaid with jade" design inspired by ancient Shu civilization.
It houses nearly 200,000 cultural relics spanning thousands of years. Highlights include the ancient stone rhinoceros, exquisite bronze wares, and precious shadow puppets. Permanent exhibitions trace Chengdu's profound history, folk customs and Bashu culture.
Free to the public, the museum perfectly combines modern architecture, precious heritage and cultural education. It serves as a vivid encyclopedia recording Chengdu's splendid past and an iconic landmark to experience time-honored Tianfu culture.
