Nong'an County Museum

The Nong'an County Museum was established in 2013 under the Nong'an County Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Press and Publication. It is a comprehensive museum that integrates functions such as cultural relic collection and preservation, scientific research, exhibition display, cultural dissemination, and social education. It is located within the Nong'an County Cultural Activity Center complex, with a construction area of 3,300 square meters. The exhibition hall covers an area of 1,600 square meters; the storage room is 68.81 square meters; and the restoration and sorting room is 70 square meters.

Since its establishment, the Nong'an County Museum has consistently placed great emphasis on the collection, organization, and research of unearthed cultural relics. Especially after relocating to the new building in 2013, it achieved digitalized management, uniformly archiving and registering all collections. Cultural relics are systematically shelved, scientifically catalogued, and used in a standardized manner. The museum currently houses over 1,900 sets of relics, categorized into eight major types: pottery, porcelain, bronze ware, ironware, jade artifacts, stone tools, bone artifacts, and folk items. There are 40 pieces of precious relics, including 4 first-grade, 2 second-grade, and 34 third-grade artifacts.

The Nong'an County Museum is a division-level institution with seven internal departments: Archaeology Department, Conservation Department, Exhibition Department, Publicity and Education Department, Security Section, Finance Office, and General Office. It has an approved staffing quota of 6 people, but currently employs 15 staff members. All staff members hold professional qualification certificates, including one associate researcher and six researchers. The current museum director is Liu Xueli. Email: naxbwg@163.com.

The Nong'an County Museum currently features two permanent exhibitions: the "Nong'an Folklore Exhibition" and the "Nong'an Development Achievements Exhibition." In addition, based on current needs and to support various initiatives, it periodically hosts temporary thematic exhibitions to enrich the cultural life of the public. The museum is currently making every effort to prepare the "Nong'an History Exhibition," which is expected to open to the public next year. The Nong'an County Museum is open year-round, and all exhibitions are free of charge. It receives approximately 200,000 visitors annually.
