The Jilin Provincial Museum (simplified Chinese: 吉林省博物院; traditional Chinese: 吉林省博物院; pinyin: Jílín shěng bówùyuàn) is a first-grade museum in Changchun, Jilin province, China, dedicated to history and art.[1] It is a subordinate unit of the Jilin Province Department of Culture and Tourism.[2]

History

The Jilin Provincial Museum was founded in 1951 and formally opened in Jilin City in 1952. In 1954, the provincial government seat was moved to Changchun, and the Jilin Provincial Museum followed it.[2] In 2012, the museum was listed as a national first-grade museum.[3] After nine years of construction,[4] the museum moved to its present location on Yongshun Road (Chinese: 永顺路; pinyin: Yǒngshùn lù), Nanguan District, in 2016.[2]

Collection

Artefacts from the Goguryeo and Balhae kingdoms, as well as the Khitan Liao and Jurchen dynasties, make up a large proportion of the museum's collection. In addition, the museum has a large number of calligraphic art pieces from various historical periods, including the modern era, and cultural relics from the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army.[2]

Some of the museum's art pieces include:[2]
