Jishan County Museum

Jishan County Museum

In 1978, the Cultural Relics Management Committee of Shanxi Province carried out emergency repairs on Qinglong Temple in Macun, Jishan County. After the restoration project was completed, the Jishan County Museum was established on-site. In 1996, due to operational needs, the museum was relocated to the backyard of Jiwang Temple in the county town. In 2004, as part of the renovation and expansion of Jiwang Temple, the majority of the museum’s collections were moved to the Cultural Relics Center Repository of Yuncheng City’s Cultural Relics Protection Research Institute, with the remaining artifacts stored in Qinglong Temple in Macun. In 2016, to meet operational requirements, the museum was re-established in the backyard of Jiwang Temple in the county town, where a repository was also set up, and the artifacts previously stored in Qinglong Temple were moved to the new repository.

The current location of Jishan County Museum is in the backyard of Jiwang Temple in the county town. It includes two storage rooms, one office, and is fully equipped with security facilities, operating on a 24-hour watch system.

The total collection amounts to 6,263 items (sets), including 121 precious cultural relics (sets), comprising 5 first-grade relics (sets), 24 second-grade relics (sets), and 92 third-grade relics (sets).
