Shanghai Jiao Tong University Museum of History

　　  Situated in Xujiahui, the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Museum of History was founded in 1996 to commemorate the university’s 100th anniversary. It is located in the historic main library, constructed in 1918, which features a classic Western architectural style. The exhibition halls preserve the original interior design and showcase the university’s educational philosophy and over 110 years of development through a wealth of artifacts, vivid textual descriptions, and advanced audio equipment. The museum offers a comprehensive introduction to the scientists, educators, political figures, business leaders, and cultural icons who have emerged from Jiao Tong University. Recognized as a “Shanghai Patriotic Education Base” and a “Youth Education Base,” it was the first patriotic education base at the municipal level within China’s higher education archives community. The museum tailors its guided tour services in both Chinese and English according to the visitors’ age, nationality, profession, background, and purpose of visit. It also provides tours for high school students holding “coming-of-age ceremonies” on campus. Moreover, it was among the first universities in China to launch a digital museum.
