Shanxi Lüliangshan Revolutionary Museum

The Shanxi Lüliangshan Revolutionary Museum was established in May 2016 with the approval of the Shanxi Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau and the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs. It was founded by Mr. Gao Yufeng, a member of the Lüliang Municipal Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, honorary president of the Lüliang Collectors Association, and chairman of the Lüliang Xingyiquan Association. The legal representative is Gao Huahua. The museum's name was inscribed by the former Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, State Councilor, and Minister of National Defense, General [Name Redacted]. It is a non-state-owned, privately-run museum primarily dedicated to promoting red culture and inheriting the spirit of Lüliang. The museum currently houses over 10,000 cultural relics, with exhibits covering revolutionary relics from the pioneers of the New Democratic Revolution to the revolutionary heroes of Lüliang during the founding of New China. Most of the relics were collected locally in Lüliang, earning the museum recognition from many experts and scholars as a "living textbook that authentically reflects the history of Lüliang’s revolutionary old base areas." It has been designated as a "Research and Education Base for Jin-Sui Revolutionary History and Culture" by the Lüliang Municipal Party Committee’s Party History Research Office, and as a "Lüliang Patriotic Education Base" by the Lüliang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

The Shanxi Lüliangshan Revolutionary Museum serves as the newest cultural venue witnessing the glorious history of the Lüliang revolution and acts as a new “showcase” for promoting Lüliang’s red culture and showcasing its unique charm. In September 2019, the "Monument Eternal – Lüliang Revolutionary Cultural Relics Exhibition for the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China," organized by the Lüliang Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism and hosted by the Shanxi Lüliangshan Revolutionary Museum, was unveiled, presenting a significant tribute to the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China. Covering an area of over 1,000 square meters, the Lüliang Revolutionary Cultural Relics Exhibition displayed 531 cultural relics across four sections: "Martyrs of Lüliang," "The Red Army’s Eastern Expedition," "The Flames of the Anti-Japanese War," and "The Liberation War." It comprehensively reflects Lüliang’s important contributions and historical significance throughout the course of China’s revolutionary history.
