Bengbu Museum

Bengbu Museum is designated as a patriotic education base.

Bengbu Museum was established in 1973 as a local comprehensive museum. It covers an area of 1,500 square meters, with an exhibition space of 1,000 square meters. The museum consists of three halls arranged in a semi-circular layout and serves as an important venue in Bengbu for educating the public about ancient historical civilization and modern spiritual culture. The museum currently houses a collection of over 10,000 cultural relics, including paleontological fossils dating back hundreds of thousands of years, a rich array of artifacts unearthed from the Bengbu Shuangdun site over 7,000 years ago, as well as ceramics, bronzeware, jade artifacts, calligraphy, paintings, and rare ancient books from various eras since the advent of civilization. Among these, there are 27 national first-class relics, 43 second-class relics, and 891 third-class relics. These items are valuable physical evidence reflecting the historical development of Bengbu and hold significant scientific, artistic, and historical value.

Since implementing a free admission policy for the public in 2008, Bengbu Museum has welcomed approximately 300,000 visitors, including 160,000 young people. The museum has also introduced and co-hosted a variety of temporary exhibitions with rich content and refined taste, receiving positive feedback from the community. It actively explores educational initiatives aimed at minors, providing a vivid, lively, and engaging second classroom for young people. Additionally, on occasions such as International Museum Day and Cultural Heritage Day, the museum produces exquisite exhibition panels and various promotional booklets, which are distributed to schools, streets, and communities to promote the protection of cultural heritage.
