The Anhui Museum is the main provincial museum of Anhui, located in Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province in eastern China. Its collections present the region's history and culture, with artifacts drawn from ancient times through to the modern era. Visitors who want to understand the area beyond its larger neighbours will find it a useful place to begin.
What to expect
The museum's displays trace the story of Anhui over many centuries, so a visit moves in a rough chronological sweep. Older objects give way to material from more recent periods, letting you see how the province developed over time. Because it is the provincial museum, its focus stays on the local region rather than on China as a whole, which makes it a good complement to the wider museums in the country.
