Baoji Folk Museum

　　Baoji Folk Museum is located on Gongyuan South Road in Baoji City, rebuilt from the former site of the Bronze Ware Museum. Utilizing the cultural resources of West-Fu folklore, the museum showcases Baoji's folk culture through physical artifacts, written materials, and folk phenomena. It aims to be “close to the people, close to life, and close to society,” integrating knowledge, fun, artistry, participation, and interaction to vividly and authentically present the folk culture of Baoji.

　　Baoji boasts a profound historical and cultural foundation, with uniquely charming local customs and is honored as the “Hometown of Folk Arts and Crafts.” To help more people understand the forms of Baoji’s folk culture and to inherit and promote the traditions and customs of West-Fu, Baoji City has transformed the former site of the Baoji Bronze Ware Museum into the Baoji Folk Museum and the Baoji Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall.

　　The Baoji Folk Museum is a thematic museum dedicated to collecting, displaying, exhibiting, and researching the regional folk culture of Baoji. With an exhibition area of 3,161 square meters, it houses 1,249 sets of folk cultural relics. The "Baoji Folk Culture" is divided into two parts: "Life in West-Fu" and "Fashions of Baoji," displaying a large number of folk phenomena. Just as the building's exterior resembles a platform with five ding (ancient bronze cauldrons), the Baoji Folk Museum is filled with the treasures of West-Fu folk culture.

　　Second Floor "Life in West-Fu" Theme: The exhibition area consists of three side halls surrounding a central courtyard. It follows the life journey of a person in West-Fu as its main thread, integrating the highly folkloric Four Seasons and Eight Festivals into three life stages — “Childhood,” “Marriage,” and “Prosperity, Wealth, and Longevity” — for categorized display.

　　Third Floor "Treasures of Folklore" Theme: The exhibition hall takes the secular life of West-Fu residents as its main theme and presents their aspirations for wealth, beauty, and joy in production and daily life, along with unique social trends, through four aspects: economic folklore, aesthetic folklore, lifestyle fashions, and folk exchanges. The entire exhibition hall uses static displays such as folk relics and scene reconstructions, complemented by interactive folk activities and modern techniques including sound, light, and electricity, to present the uniquely Baoji-style folk culture in a multi-dimensional way.
