Yulou Mingjing Furniture Museum

Yulou Mingjing Furniture Museum

The Yulou Ming-Qing Furniture Museum is located on the south side of East Avenue in Qi County Ancient Town. It was once the residence of the wealthy He family, prominent merchants during the Qing and Ming dynasties. Covering an area of over 1,000 square meters with 34 rooms, it is one of the rare quadrangle-style buildings with tower structures in Shanxi Province. With an investment of more than 2 million yuan, it has been privately developed into a museum showcasing Ming and Qing furniture from the merchant class. The museum primarily exhibits furniture, porcelain, calligraphy, and paintings used by wealthy Qing and Ming merchants. It also houses valuable pieces made of huanghuali wood, rosewood, mahogany, and osmanthus wood. To cater to collectors and enthusiasts, items may be viewed and in some cases, transferred. A teahouse has been set up on the second floor facing the street, offering visitors a pleasant place to enjoy tea and watch tea ceremonies. The museum also operates the “Haosan Teahouse,” where art, collection, and photography enthusiasts gather to share knowledge and explore the world of art together.
