Jiangxian Museum

Jiangxian Museum is the only comprehensive history museum in Jiangxian County and is affiliated with the Jiangxian Cultural Relics Bureau. The museum was established in 1981, originally located within the compound of the Jiangxian Cultural Center. In 1989, it was relocated to the Jiangxian Confucian Temple, covering an area of 4,180 square meters with a building area of 1,304 square meters, and a total investment of 1.3 million yuan. Since its establishment, the museum has had three directors: Zhao Shuzheng (1981–1992), Guo Erfu (1992–2008), and Su Wenfang (2008–present).

The museum has a 108-square-meter cultural relics storage room equipped with security technologies such as surveillance and anti-theft devices. The storage room is newly built and houses 15 display cabinets — 12 are standard wooden cabinets, while 3 are safes for storing precious relics. The room also includes basic ventilation and moisture-proof facilities, with collections arranged by grade. The museum holds a total of 940 cultural relic items/sets, including 70 precious relic items/sets (7 second-grade and 63 third-grade), which are stored in the cultural relics storage room of the municipal cultural relics bureau.

The museum currently has four permanent exhibitions on display: the Stone Lion Exhibition (35 items/sets), the Confucius Sacred Sites Exhibition (1 item/set), the Stone Inscription Exhibition (26 items/sets), and the Ming Dynasty Colored Glaze Exhibition (147 items/sets).

Jiangxian Museum actively responds to the national first census of movable cultural relics, digitally collecting and registering information on its collections, thereby laying a solid foundation for the establishment of a digital database of cultural relics. The museum utilizes technologies such as imaging, light sensing, and voice interaction flexibly throughout its exhibitions. Visitors can engage with the digital museum during their visit. This not only helps them gain a comprehensive understanding of the relics but also encourages repeat visits.
