Le'an County Museum

Le'an County Museum

The Le'an County Museum was first built in 1969 and completed in the summer of 1971, then known as the "Long Live Pavilion." In January 1977, it was officially named the "Le'an County Revolutionary History Memorial Hall" with approval from the Jiangxi Provincial Revolutionary Committee. In 1978, it came under the jurisdiction of the county's Bureau of Culture and Education. Following the second national cultural relics survey, a section displaying historical artifacts was added. On March 21, 1983, it was renamed the "Le'an County Museum" and placed under the administration of the county's Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting. The museum building was designed and constructed based on the blueprint of the "Jiangxi Provincial Long Live Pavilion." The upper part of the gate tower is adorned with carved reliefs of Shaoshan, Jinggangshan, Ye Ping Octagonal Building, the site of the Gutian Conference, the site of the Zunyi Conference, Yan'an, and Tiananmen, symbolizing seven milestones representing the victory of the Chinese revolution led by Mao Zedong and other veteran proletarian revolutionaries. The museum building is 42.70 meters long, 14.55 meters wide, and 12.26 meters high, covering a total area of 1,360 square meters. Its main structure is a two-story brick-and-wood building. In front of the museum’s main entrance stand six tall marble-clad pillars, giving the entire structure a majestic appearance.
