Ganzhou Museum

　　Ganzhou Museum was founded in 1960. In 1999, following the establishment of Ganzhou as a prefecture-level city, the Ganzhou Prefecture Museum and Ganzhou City Museum were merged to form a new municipal-level Ganzhou Museum. In April 2006, the Ganzhou Cultural Relics Administration Bureau was established, operating under a joint structure with Ganzhou Museum and the Southern Hakka Museum, sharing the same staff and resources. It functions as a fully funded deputy division-level public institution under the Ganzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, and Tourism. The museum houses a collection of over 20,000 ancient cultural relics and natural specimens, with particular strengths in ancient ceramics, calligraphy and paintings, as well as Hakka folk cultural artifacts.

　　Since its establishment, Ganzhou Museum has been located within cultural heritage sites such as Bajing Terrace, Confucius Temple, and Yugu Terrace. With the support of the municipal government, in September 2009, a new museum building was completed at No. 15 Xingguo Road and opened to the public. It features two permanent exhibitions: “Cradle of the Hakka – The History and Culture of Ganzhou” and “Eternal Glory – The Revolutionary History of the People of Ganzhou.”

　　To facilitate the museum’s upgrade and establish it as a first-class national institution, with approval from the Ganzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, in April 2013, the Ganzhou Natural Museum was integrated into Ganzhou Museum. The under-construction project in Zhangjiang New District was upgraded and transformed into the new Ganzhou Museum building. The exhibition halls at the Xingguo Road location were redesigned to host a thematic exhibition on the revitalization and development of the Central Soviet Area.

　　 The new Ganzhou Museum is located at the intersection of Gan Kang Road and Changning Road, west of the Urban Central Park in Zhangjiang New District. It covers an area of 61 mu (approximately 4.07 hectares), with a total construction area of 28,500 square meters, including 10,300 square meters of exhibition space. On December 31, 2015, it began trial operation. Six exhibition halls—the Cradle of the Hakka–Ganzhou, Ceramics of Qilizhen Kiln in Ganzhou, Dinosaur Wonders, Prosperous Ganzhou, Botanical Garden, and Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction Science Popularization Hall—are open to the public free of charge.
