Sanmen County Museum

Sanmen County Museum

The Sanmen County Museum was established in December 1989. It is located on Majia Mountain at the northern end of Haiyou Bridge, nestled against the mountain and near the water, offering a beautiful environment and convenient transportation. Covering an area of 18.6 mu, the museum has a building area of 1,016 square meters and an exhibition hall area of 400 square meters, featuring antique-style architecture. It employs nine staff members and includes departments such as the Exhibition Group and the Cultural Relics Group, responsible for cultural relics surveys, collections, preservation, exhibitions, and promotional protection across the county.

The Sanmen County Museum houses a collection of over 2,300 items. Among these, there are 408 pieces of precious cultural relics, including one national first-class relic, nine second-class relics, and more than 400 works by renowned modern calligraphers and painters. The collection features masterpieces from the late Qing Dynasty painters and calligraphers Pu Hua and Zhang ?. There are also 32 works by 12 nationally restricted-export master artists, including Huang Binhong, Lu Yanshao, Chu Lesan, Feng Zikai, Sha Menghai, and Wu ?. A pair of Southern School stone statues (Shi Wengzhong) and two Qing Dynasty stone-carved mother-and-son lions are currently stationed at the front steps of the museum. The county has identified 83 cultural heritage sites, 14 of which are designated as county-level protected units—including the Wenxian Guogong Dazhong Shrine, Luosu Tomb, Huaqiao (Flower Bridge), and Qianfo Tower. There is also one provincial-level key cultural heritage protection site—the former site of the Tingpang Uprising.
