## About Zhenjiang Museum

Zhenjiang Museum was founded in 1958. Its architecture is in the East Indian style; the building was originally one of the earliest British consulates built along China's coastal and riverside areas. The historic building lies at the foot of Yuntai Mountain to the west and adjoins Xijin Ferry Ancient Street to the east. Though it has weathered a century of wind and rain, it retains its graceful bearing. The museum holds more than 30,000 artifacts and sets, along with nearly 100,000 volumes of ancient books. Its collection is particularly strong in bronze ware from the State of Wu during the Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn periods, celadon from the Six Dynasties, gold and silverware from the Tang dynasty, and Ming and Qing paintings and calligraphy.
