Qi Culture Museum

The Qi Culture Museum is a cultural tourism attraction.

The Former Qi State Capital Site Museum has been renamed the Qi Culture Museum and relocated to the Qi Culture Museum Complex. It officially opened on September 12, 2016, the opening day of the 13th Qi Culture Festival.

The Qi Culture Museum is located in Linzi, a national historical and cultural city and the birthplace of world football. It is one of the four government-run museums within the Qi Culture Museum Complex, a key cultural project of Zibo City. With a construction area of 35,000 square meters and a collection of over 30,000 cultural relics, it is a comprehensive museum integrating functions such as relic collection, exhibition, preservation, research, education, and leisure.

Its exterior resembles a twisted desk calendar, reflecting the profound history of Linzi and serving as a landmark building representing the city’s image. The museum primarily showcases distinctive cultural relics from the Qi region, conducts research and preservation on intangible cultural heritage and local customs, and also displays the current development achievements of Linzi District along with its long-term economic and social development plans.

The Qi Culture Museum covers a construction area of 35,000 square meters, with its exhibition halls divided into four sections: the Basic Exhibition Hall, the Special Exhibition Hall, the Thematic Exhibition Hall, and the Temporary Exhibition Hall. It houses over 30,000 cultural relics, with more than 4,100 pieces (sets) on display.

On September 25, 2018, the Qi Culture Museum was designated as a National Second-Class Museum of China.
