Shanghai Jiao Tong University History Museum

Shanghai Jiao Tong University History Museum

The Shanghai Jiao Tong University History Museum serves as a patriotic education base.

Located in Xujiahui, the Shanghai Jiao Tong University History Museum was established in 1996 during the university’s centennial celebration. It is housed in the old library building, constructed in 1918, which features a classic Western architectural style. The exhibition halls retain the original interior design and use a rich collection of artifacts, extensive and vivid textual explanations, and advanced sound equipment to present the university’s over 110-year history of educational philosophy and development. The museum offers a comprehensive introduction to the scientists, educators, political figures, business leaders, and cultural icons who have emerged from Jiao Tong University. It is recognized as a “Shanghai Patriotic Education Base” and a “Youth Education Base,” and was the first patriotic education base at the municipal level established within a university archives department in China. The museum tailors its guided tour services in both Chinese and English according to visitors’ age, nationality, occupation, background, and purpose of visit. It also provides tour services for high school students holding “coming-of-age ceremonies” on campus. Furthermore, it was among the first universities in China to launch a digital museum.
