The Nanchang Museum, also known in Chinese as 南昌市博物馆, is the municipal museum of Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province in southern China. It sits on Bayi Avenue in Donghu District, a practical address for anyone exploring the city centre.
What you will see
The museum is devoted to the local history and cultural heritage of Nanchang. Its displays follow the development of the city over time and include archaeological discoveries made in the region, which give a sense of the long human presence along the Gan River basin. Traditional arts and crafts also feature, so visitors can see how local skills and everyday objects have been made and valued here.
Why it suits a visit
For a traveller, the museum is a sensible place to begin a stay in Nanchang. Seeing the city's past laid out in one building helps when you walk through the streets afterwards, because you will recognise the themes behind what you see. It is a good choice for a quieter part of a day, and for those who enjoy history, archaeology or craft traditions.
