Wulong Museum

Wulong Museum

The Chongqing Wulong Museum was officially approved for establishment on March 22, 1999, under Document No. (Yu Cultural Relics [1999] No. 26), and had its grand opening at No. 18, Fengjiapo, Xiangkou Town, Wulong District, on the morning of May 8, 1999. Covering a land area of 650 square meters and a building area of 2,000 square meters, it is a three-story building with a brick-concrete structure, primarily highlighting the display of folk cultural relics. Later, due to the early construction period of the museum building, some parts developed safety hazards. Therefore, the museum carried out maintenance work on the roof, indoor ceilings, left-side windows, and surrounding drainage ditches, and also demolished the first floor. These measures eliminated potential safety risks and ensured the safety of visitors and the museum area.

In March 2014, the museum initiated the new exhibition hall layout and installation project at No. 81, Furong Middle Road, Xiangkou Town, Wulong District. It completed the construction task of the exhibition layout distributed across three floors, with a building area of 1,200 square meters. The main exhibits include nearly 300 sets (pieces) of cultural relics from various historical periods in Wulong District, ranging from the Paleolithic Age to the Republic of China.

Since its establishment to the present, the Wulong District Museum has collected nearly 3,000 sets (pieces) of cultural relics of various types and levels, including 61 sets (pieces) of precious cultural relics. These historical artifacts possess high scientific, historical, and artistic value.

To effectively carry out free admission operations and improve service quality, the museum has further refined its free admission policies and optimized the free access plan. According to the visitor reception process, tasks such as front desk registration, luggage storage, informational material distribution, visitor rest areas, and services for special groups have been detailed to provide the best possible service to visitors. Additionally, three full-time tour guides have been assigned to offer free guided tours to visitors.

To better ensure the security of cultural relics, the museum has installed 48 video surveillance devices and 24 infrared alarm devices, achieving full coverage with no blind spots in exhibition halls, storage rooms, and other areas. Six on-duty security personnel have been employed to maintain a 24-hour patrol system, essentially meeting the requirements of “physical prevention, technical prevention, and personnel prevention,” thus creating safe conditions for the secure display of cultural relics.
