Liaoning Provincial Museum

After the first phase of the ancient calligraphy and painting exhibition concluded, works like "Lady Guoguo's Spring Outing" and "Crows" were displayed in a special exhibition of copied works in a corner of the Liaoning Museum's first floor. This inconspicuous area was sparsely populated! The center section housed the "Yangxin Hall Cultural Relics Special Exhibition." Having visited the Liaoning Museum many times, I'd head straight to the third floor for the ancient calligraphy exhibition. The exhibition included a Tang Dynasty copy of the "Wansui Tongtian Tie," Huaisu's "On Calligraphy," Ouyang Xun's "Thousand Character Classic," original works by Zhu Xi, Xie Jin, and Wen Tianxiang, and Zhao Mengfu's running script of Ouyang Xiu's "Autumn Sound Fu." The Four Masters of the Ming Dynasty and renowned Qing Dynasty artists—any one of these would be a treasure in any other museum. Surprisingly, the number of visitors was quite large, with many parents bringing their elementary school children to learn, and many elderly people also enjoying the exhibition. The Yangxin Hall Cultural Relics and Jade and Porcelain Galleries were particularly crowded, while the calligraphy and painting galleries were relatively quiet, making it a truly enjoyable experience to admire national treasures!

When you're in a place and want to get to know the land better, there's no better way than to visit a museum. I've always loved museums, and after watching CCTV's "National Treasure," I couldn't get enough of the Liaoning Provincial Museum.

As an aside, the Liaoning Provincial Museum is located in a remote area. Unlike other provincial and municipal museums that are located in prime locations like the city center, it takes more than an hour to get there by bus from Zhongjie Street. There are also no other buildings around the museum, except for the Liaoning Provincial Science and Technology Museum across the street.

This time I only saw the "Wansui Tongtian Tie", and didn't see the other two national treasures, which is a pity.

The Liaoning Provincial Museum is located at the City Hall Station on Metro Line 2. It is the most interesting provincial museum in the three northeastern provinces and mainly introduces the Hongshan culture.

I first came into contact with the Jade Pig Dragon and saw the "Golden Step-Shake" at the Liaoning Provincial Museum. I imagine that if they were on my head, I would walk much more gracefully.

The museum also has an exhibition on Italian Etruscan civilization. The Italian coffins are so beautiful, it reminded me of a similar scene in a BBC documentary on world architecture. I was quite moved by it...

Visitors lined up in an orderly fashion at the entrance of the Liaoning Provincial Museum. Upon entering, we were greeted by a vast, open area spanning three floors. Since time was tight, we started on the third floor, the most exciting of all. The third floor houses five exhibition halls dedicated to "Ancient Liaoning," including exhibitions of ancient Chinese calligraphy, painting, and kesi embroidery. It was a truly wonderful experience, and I loved every detail. Every piece I encountered was a pleasant surprise, making the trip well worthwhile! The Liaoning Provincial Museum is incredibly vast, with three floors, so take your time and plan at least a day to explore.

Liaoning Museum is free but not ticket-free. Tickets can be obtained with your ID card.

The Liaoning Provincial Museum is located northeast of the Central Square in Hunnan District, Shenyang (No. 157, Zhihui 3rd Street, Hunnan District). It covers an area of 83,200 square meters and is divided into five business areas: exhibitions, visitor services, cultural relics storage, cultural relics conservation, and general services. Open from April 1st to October 31st, the museum opens at 9:00 AM and closes after 4:00 PM. Phone: 024-22741193. Admission is free. The building in front of the Liaoning Provincial Museum is impressive, but not luxurious. Entry to the first floor requires security screening before admission. Flammable items are strictly prohibited. The museum has three floors, and a recommended tour time of 2-3 hours is recommended.

The Liaoning Provincial Museum currently houses nearly 120,000 cultural relics, including tens of thousands of precious artifacts. Its vast and exquisite collections rank among the best in China, with its collection of calligraphy and paintings from various dynasties in particular holding a prominent position both domestically and internationally. The museum's meticulously designed displays and comprehensive supporting facilities ensure a truly immersive experience. A guide costs 40 yuan each!

Although I visited the Liaoning Provincial Museum twice, for a total of about 6 hours, I still failed to visit all the exhibition halls. There were still the Ming and Qing Jade Exhibition, Ming and Qing Porcelain Exhibition, and Ancient Chinese Stele Exhibition on the first floor, and the Ancient Chinese Bronze Mirror Exhibition, Ancient Chinese Currency Exhibition, Chinese Seals of Successive Dynasties Exhibition, and Ancient Chinese Buddhist Statue Exhibition on the second floor. The Liaoning Provincial Museum is really huge!

Overall, I feel that many of the exhibits here are inextricably linked to those in the Inner Mongolia Museum, because the two places are connected geographically.

Liaoning Provincial Museum, I will come again!

This museum is definitely worth exploring. There are so many treasures, and so many popular online items, that I feel like I haven't truly visited until I've captured them. The museum is packed with people buying cultural and creative products, which are incredibly affordable and good value. One popular online hand-rolled product is incredibly hard to find. Even the check-in popsicles are incredibly beautiful—both visually appealing and delicious—a truly great value.

The Liaoning Provincial Museum recently launched another blockbuster exhibition. "Encountering the Tang Dynasty Again" recreates the splendor and splendor of the Tang Dynasty, while "Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song" brings together eight of the most iconic figures in classical Chinese literature for public viewing. Gazing upon these eight spirited and high-spirited gentlemen, the exhibition brought back memories of reciting famous works like "Red Cliff," "The Drunken Old Man's Pavilion," and "The Small Rock Pool" in middle school.

If you are traveling independently and arrive in Shenyang before noon, please set the Liaoning Provincial Museum as the first stop of your itinerary. This is because Shenyang Taoxian International Airport is very close to the High-tech Development Zone where the Liaoning Provincial Museum is located, only about 10 kilometers away. It only takes about ten minutes to get there by taxi. If you go into the city to go to the museum, it will undoubtedly be far away.

In addition, if you take the high-speed rail to Shenyang South Station and then take a taxi, it is also relatively close.

Address: No. 157, Zhihui 3rd Street, Hunnan New District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province

When you come to Liaoning Museum, pay attention to the following treasures: the Shang Dynasty large tripod with animal face and Taotie pattern, which is older than the Shang Dynasty Simuwu large square tripod; the Western Zhou Dynasty duck-shaped zun, the only one of its kind in China; the duck-shaped glass jug produced in ancient Rome and buried in the Northern Yan Kingdom; the "Lady with Flowers in Her Hair" which is a stunning masterpiece that leaves countless mysteries behind; the "Lady of Guo State Going Out for Spring Outing" with a signature by Jin Zhangzong and said to be copied by Song Huizong; the celadon water pot whose conception and technique are considered to be rare among pottery; the "Purple Luan and Magpie Picture", a unique piece of Northern Song Dynasty kesi silk; the ingenious "Camellia" by Zhu Kerou, a famous Southern Song Dynasty kesi artist; the "Indian Monk in Red" with moving charm by Zhao Mengfu of Yuan Dynasty; and the powder-glazed "Hundred Flowers Zun" which is the crystallization of Jingdezhen's cutting-edge firing technology in Qing Dynasty.

This time I came to Liaoning Provincial Museum to visit the "Seeing the Tang Dynasty Again" and "Seeing Hongshan Again" exhibitions.

Admission: The museum is free. Reservations are required for the "Encountering the Tang Dynasty" and "Encountering Hongshan" exhibitions, but these are also free. For reservation information, please visit the Liaoning Museum's official account.

Transportation Tips: The subway has not been built yet, but there are buses.

Dining: Free drinking water is available inside the museum. The spectator restaurant offers affordable set menus. While the menu is limited, the food is tasty and generous. The museum is sparsely populated, with few restaurants, so dining inside is recommended.

Looking back at the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, a series of exquisite paintings and masterpieces create a vibrant and colorful picture scroll of prosperity. The "Seeing the Tang Dynasty Again" exhibition showcases the charm of the Tang Dynasty through masterpieces of calligraphy and painting handed down from generation to generation, giving us the opportunity to glimpse the splendor of a thousand-year-old era. This collective display of the Liaoning Provincial Museum's most treasured works is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Among them are "Lady with a Hairpin," "Lady Guoguo's Spring Outing," "Divine Horse," as well as "Dream Memorial Scroll," "Wansui Tongtian Scroll," and "Four Ancient Poems."

Compared with other provincial museums, the historical content is average. The three northeastern provinces are indeed not the mainstream of the Central Plains culture. All the museums in Liaoning Province are mainly about Liao, Jin, and Qing dynasties, which is probably 3,000 years less than the Central Plains... In addition, it is too far from the city.

The Liaoning Provincial Museum was the first museum established in the People's Republic of China and is undoubtedly the best historical museum in Liaoning Province. A while ago, the "National Treasures" exhibition also welcomed three of its precious treasures: a bronze gilt wooden stirrup, a Tang Dynasty copy of Wang Xizhi's family calligraphy scroll, and a Song Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "The Goddess of the Luo River" scroll. They quickly became famous, so I won't go into details here. I will just give you a few tips:

1. Because the museum is right next to the Science and Technology Museum, there are two transportation options to get there: one is to take Tram Line 3 or Line 4, get off at the Science and Technology Museum stop, walk to the right at the traffic post, turn right at the second traffic light, and pass the Science and Technology Museum. The other is to take Bus No. 130, get off at the Quanyun 3rd Road stop on Zhihui 4th Street, and turn right at the traffic light.

2. The museum is free to visit with your ID card. It is closed on Mondays. The opening hours are 9:00-17:00 in the peak season (last admission at 16:00) and 9:30-16:30 in the off-season (last admission at 15:30). Don't miss it.

3. Some of the museum's exhibition halls are not open to the public, which is a bit regrettable. At the same time, the museum also temporarily exhibits some special exhibitions in collaboration with other museums, such as the ancient Egyptian cultural relics exhibition and the Forbidden City cultural relics exhibition, which are so surprising;

4. Focus on introducing the museum's treasures: the Shang Dynasty large tripod with animal face and Taotie pattern, which is older than the Shang Dynasty Simuwu large square tripod; the Western Zhou Dynasty duck-shaped zun, the only one of its kind in China; the duck-shaped glass jug produced in ancient Rome and buried in the Northern Yan Kingdom; the "Lady with Flowers in Her Hair", whose stunning appearance has left countless mysteries behind; the "Lady of Guo State Going Out for Spring Outing", which is inscribed by Jin Zhangzong and is said to be copied by Song Huizong; the celadon water pot, whose conception and technique are considered to be rare among pottery; the "Purple Luan and Magpie Record", a unique complete piece of Northern Song Dynasty kesi silk; the "Camellia" by Zhu Kerou, a famous Southern Song Dynasty kesi artist; the "Red-robed Indian Monk", a charming calligraphy and painting by Zhao Mengfu of the Yuan Dynasty; and the "Famous-robe Hundred Flowers Zun", the crystallization of Jingdezhen's cutting-edge firing technology from the Qing Dynasty.

The first visit to the Provincial Museum, the eldest son of the Republic, left a deep impression on us.



1. Being stopped at the door when there are many empty parking spaces on non-holidays

2. They were held at the entrance for 40 minutes, and we tried to negotiate a solution but to no avail (they even refused to let us go to the restroom).

3. No paid points

4. Forced download of APP



Service attitude is the foundation of tourism. It is a pity that the first-class hardware and collections are not matched with high-quality services. It is a pity that the first-class hardware is not matched with high-quality services.



But what surprised us was that the price, quality and service in the dining area were a world apart from those in the parking lot and information desk. We must give a thumbs up to the service in the dining area.



What an amazing museum.

It houses a collection of very important ancient Chinese calligraphy and paintings, each of which is well-known. It is a must-visit museum for those who love Chinese culture and art.

The Liaoning Provincial Museum, a provincial-level museum, boasts a magnificent architecture, though located somewhat out of town. The museum boasts a wealth of content, and a careful exploration would allow you to fully explore it in 3-4 hours. The temporary exhibition halls also feature a variety of exhibits offering insights into diverse cultures around the world. The museum's treasure, "Lady with a Hairpin," is a truly remarkable piece worth examining.

They all say it's amazing, but I really don't understand calligraphy and painting.

Located in the suburbs, it is not very convenient, covers a large area, and has average public services.

That day I happened to catch a mummy exhibition in Italy, which was a feast for the eyes.

Needless to say, there are many rare calligraphy and painting treasures, as many people have mentioned, and there are also many pictures. The most surprising thing is to see emojis in the museum, hahahaha!

I came to Liaoning Museum to see the three national treasures and the painting of auspicious cranes by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, but the calligraphy and painting gallery was closed.

Those who know the matter know that Tang and Song Dynasty calligraphy and painting are the standard for measuring the level of a domestic museum. This is why the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei is so unsettling to us. It is commonly said that "ten Taipeis, nine Liaonings". It happened that the Liaoning Provincial Museum exhibited the old collections of the Qing Palace that Puyi brought to the puppet Manchukuo government, which made us feast our eyes; the mottled "Nymph of the Luo River", "Ladies with Flowers in Hairpins" by Zhou Fang of the Tang Dynasty, "Auspicious Cranes with the Single Flower Signature in the Thin Gold Script", calligraphy by Yiren of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, running script by Ouyang Xun, and cursive script by Zhang Xu are rarely seen in other museums. The calligraphy and painting of the Tang and Song Dynasties and even the Jin Dynasty are really fascinating. It is the first time to view them repeatedly in a certain exhibition hall. There are many other treasures, but they always pale in comparison. The calligraphy of Zhao Mengfu and Xianyu Shu is rarely seen in front of the door, and even Qiu Ying's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is sparsely visited. You should know that the Palace Museum's exhibition of a "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" from the Northern Song Dynasty will cause the Palace Museum to run away.

August 18, 2018

The three-year exhibition preparation for the new museum has finally come to an end.

All exhibition halls are open.

We arrived right when it opened at 9am.

Everyone heard this great news.

That man has an old nose.

There were not many people when we went there, so the free tour guide who was supposed to be at the hour didn't show up. I asked the staff, but they all knew nothing about anything and the service was very poor.

The collection is average, not much to see.

We arrived at 2:30 pm. There was supposed to be an entrance to the Ancient Liaoning Exhibition Hall on the 15th. However, we waited for a long time but no one showed up. We asked the exhibition hall staff, but the information desk staff also didn't know anything. The service quality needs to be improved.

The exhibits were mainly historical, and I didn't see anything that shocked me, unlike the Zenghouyi chime bells at the Hubei Provincial Museum.

The area started to be cleared at 4 o'clock. When I went out, I encountered the first snow in my life, which made me, a southern kid, very excited.

There are so many exquisite calligraphy and painting exhibitions at the Liaoning Museum that it’s hard to take it all in! The museum is very crowded, and you can calm down and appreciate each work carefully. It’s really great. I feel that there are not many large museums with such a collection that are so quiet now!

Liaoning Provincial Museum, free admission.

The play time is 2-3 hours.

The calligraphy and painting collections are the biggest attraction. In addition, there are many collections from the Hongshan period, the Liao and Jin periods, and before the Qing Dynasty entered the pass.



Liaoning Provincial Museum, the first comprehensive museum in New China and a member of the 8+3 group, was naturally featured on last year's popular online program "National Treasure." The museum showcased three of its collections: "Gu Kaizhi's Luoshen Fu Scroll, a Song Dynasty Copy," "Bronze Gilded Wooden Stirrup," and "Wansui Tongtian Tie, a Tang Dynasty Copy of Wang Xizhi." Two of these were calligraphy and painting, demonstrating the importance of calligraphy and painting at the museum. Upon visiting the museum, it was clear that the collection was undoubtedly its most significant asset. It's rare to find such high-quality, large-scale, and diverse collections at other museums, a true feast for the eyes.

I went to the Liaoning Provincial Museum during the special exhibition of calligraphy and painting. The Painting of a Lady with a Hairpin and the Painting of the Goddess of Luo River are really beautiful. The new museum is very large and you need to reserve a whole day for it.

Jade transparency, tourmaline brush washer, stop and stare and think about how the ancients washed their talent in the brush and ink.

【Jade Exhibition】

Time was tight, so I only visited this one exhibition. Upon entering, I was captivated by the dim lighting and the transparent, soft, and delicate textures. I particularly liked the Qing Dynasty flower-carved brush washer, which made me think deeply about how the ancients expressed their poetic and sentimental feelings through brush and ink.

【Hand-pulled pancake at the door】

If you are hungry, you can buy a hand-pulled pancake at the door, but the price is a bit expensive, the cheapest one is 7 yuan. It closes at 5 pm. I think if you want to take a quick look, three hours is enough, but if you want to see it carefully, you need a whole day.

I finally saw the legendary "Auspicious Cranes" and "Ladies with Flowers in Their Hair". It was worth the trip to Shenyang. The Liaoning Provincial Museum has newly opened an exhibition of ancient Chinese calligraphy, painting and kesi embroidery, and the first phase is expected to last for three months.

Relocated to the Hunan Free Trade Zone, it's a long way off, but definitely worth the trip. Transportation is quite convenient, with the subway and then the light rail. The museum is free, though quite far from the city center. Take the bus and then the light rail, and it's not far from the airport. Be aware that it's closed on Mondays, so go early; it usually closes around 5 PM. It's a place I'd love to visit a couple hundred times. Two items in the Liaoning Provincial Museum are listed as national treasures, but they're not always on display. The Liaoning Provincial Library and Archives are also nearby. I went there from Qingnian Street and spent three hours exploring, but I couldn't finish it all. The famous calligraphy and painting exhibitions weren't open yet, so I hope you're there when they're open. It seems they've just relocated. The humidity and temperature inside the museum are good, though. I only visited the museum, but based on my experience in Hangzhou, the other museums should be good too. They're often full of children, and the museum was no exception. Wow.

The pictures I took on my phone were exported! But it's definitely worth a visit! Highly recommended!

We actually spent two full days at the museum. When we arrived, we checked the time of the tours at the information desk. We caught up with two official tours inside the museum, and then listened to several volunteer tours based on the time. It was pretty good.

The Liaoning Provincial Museum is the first museum established in the People's Republic of China. The new Liaoning Provincial Museum is near Shenyang South Railway Station, and a taxi ride costs about 15 yuan. I recently visited the museum because of a special exhibition featuring ancient Egyptian artifacts from the Turin Museum in Italy. The museum's permanent exhibitions generally cover the history of Liaoning and Liao Dynasty artifacts. The most notable exhibitions are, of course, its ancient paintings and Buddhist sculptures, both worth seeing. I'd like to express my special thanks to an elderly volunteer who provided us with a lecture on the history of Buddhist sculpture. Finally, there are exhibitions covering Manchu culture and family life. Visiting one or two exhibition halls should take about two to three hours. It's usually not crowded, so if you want to see everything, you'll need at least a day. The museum also has many special exhibitions. You can follow the official account.

It's huge, very informative, and has a large collection, but it's just too tiring.

This was the most rewarding attraction of my trip, and I highly recommend it. I didn't know much about the Liaoning Provincial Museum before going, thinking its collection wouldn't be extensive. And since only one floor was open, I figured three hours would be enough. But upon arrival, I was truly astonished. It's worth spending a full day exploring the museum. All three floors are open, with Ming and Qing porcelain and jade being the main focus, and a rich exhibition of Buddhist sculptures. The calligraphy and painting hall was closed for maintenance. Because it's new, the space is spacious. The downside is that there are no guided tours, and I don't know if it's due to the location or something else, but the crowds were noisy, with loud noises and even children fighting. It's a real letdown for such a wonderful museum.

Liaoning Provincial Museum is located at No. 157, Zhihui 3rd Street, Hunnan District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. It was newly built two years ago. It is much larger than the old museum and has many more functions.

The Liaoning Provincial Museum is one of China's eight major museums (along with the Palace Museum, Nanjing Museum, and Shanghai Museum) because it houses most of the exquisite collections of successive Qing emperors that Puyi took out of the Qing palace. (Some were acquired by the Lushun Museum, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the fine pieces were exchanged for the Palace Museum, the Shanghai Museum, and other major institutions, leaving only a few authentic works by Su Shi.) Works by renowned artists in the history of ancient Chinese painting, such as Zhou Fang, Li Cheng, Qiu Ying, Dong Yuan, Ma Yijiao, and Xia Banbian, are all included, each a national treasure. Works by Zhao Mengfu, Song Huizong, Zhu Xi, Zhang Xu, Huaisu, Dong Qichang, Lu You, and the Three Su brothers, all essential figures in the history of ancient Chinese calligraphy, are also in the museum's collection, and any single piece is restricted from export. (Books, paintings, and textiles are among the most difficult to preserve, and their survival is extremely rare, especially for masterpieces by renowned artists.) Only by exploring a museum like this can you truly experience the profound breadth and depth of Chinese history.

Unfortunately, masterpieces like the "Lady with a Hairpin and Flowers," which were long exhibited in the old museum, are no longer on display in the new museum (after the cultural relics are relocated, it may take more than a decade before they can be put on display again). The photo I took was a casual snap during an earlier visit. I regret not being able to fully appreciate this national treasure several times, as this might be the only chance I'll ever have to see this masterpiece. (The photos of works by Qiu Ying, Dong Yuan, Mi Fu, Lu You, and others were taken when some of the Liaoning Museum's masterpieces were exhibited at the Lushun Museum. These paintings probably wouldn't even rank in the top 50 of Liaoning Museum's calligraphy and painting collection.)

If I get the chance, I would like to see all the national treasures in the museum.

I heard this museum has great collections, so I excitedly arrived early this morning. Visiting the flower exhibition, I was struck by how lifelike the ancient Chinese paintings of flowers and plants were. The veins and angles of the petals were incredibly realistic, and the birds were also incredibly vivid.

The last exhibition hall on the first floor (the third temporary exhibition hall was not open) is the Embroidery Hall, which I loved. I really enjoyed seeing ancient Chinese clothing. Although Qing Dynasty clothing looks baggy and loose, I imagine it would have looked beautiful on a truly beautiful woman. The rest of the exhibition displays some everyday items that require embroidery.

The first exhibition hall on the second floor is the Ancient Bronze Mirror Gallery. The bronze mirrors from the Warring States period look incredibly heavy, and certainly don't reflect clearly. There are also smaller mirrors of all sizes. The carvings on the backs of mirrors from the Western Han Dynasty are noticeably more elaborate and ornate, and the condition is much better. Even if someone were to tell me they were from the Republic of China period, I wouldn't doubt it.

Liao Dynasty Pottery Exhibition Hall. The first time I saw some cockscomb pots, they gave me a primitive feeling. From a distance, they looked like water bags carried by men on horseback.

Ancient Seal Exhibition Hall: Oh my god, the seals from the Warring States period are so small. If you drop them, you might lose them. The seals from the Qin and Han dynasties are a bit bigger. Some of them are decorated with an arch bridge, maybe for hanging ropes? The seals from the Eastern Han Dynasty are a bit smaller than those from the Western Han Dynasty.

The last gallery on the second floor is dedicated to ancient Buddhist sculptures. I've visited this type of gallery many times, and although I'm not particularly interested in Buddhism, I can only conclude that the garments on the Buddha statues are beautifully carved, showcasing the drape of the garments. The naked figures have a distinctly exotic feel.

The exhibition hall on the third floor shows the history of ancient Liaoning. It starts from the primitive society, which is what every local museum does. There is no difference.

During the Spring Festival, my wife and daughter became obsessed with CCTV's "National Treasure," and even made a special trip to the Palace Museum in Beijing. This past May Day, I drove to Shenyang with my wife and daughter specifically to visit the Liaoning Provincial Museum. After all, it's one of China's nine major museums, and it houses one of my daughter's favorite national treasures—a gilded wooden stirrup. My biggest interest, however, was the "Zhiyuan" exhibition of artifacts recovered from the Qing Dynasty shipwreck, Liaoning Dandong No. 1.

After the Liaoning Museum became a national treasure, I added it to my itinerary. Visiting museums is the fastest way to understand a region's history and development, and a particularly effective way to build a broad framework for it. With awe, I mostly just skimmed through the museums, and my impressions were likely limited to the museum's treasures, but this didn't dampen my enthusiasm for the museum.

Now it has moved to Quanyun Road and can be found on Baidu Maps. The museum, science and technology museum and library are all not far away. If nothing else, the frequent updates make it worth going. There are always many surprises waiting for us, and there are also many volunteer guides.

It's great, but it's a little far and the location is a bit remote. I took the tram 🚃 there and walked a little bit after getting off. It's worth going

The Liaoning Museum is truly far away, and commuting isn't easy. The north wind made me feel a bit dazed, but thankfully the rich exhibits comforted me. Especially with the heating cranked up to full blast, I shed my heavy coat, scarf, and hat. Instantly, I felt as light as a swallow, rejuvenated as I darted through the exhibition rooms.

It just closes a little early, so you still have to arrive early.

The new museum is near the airport. It is very large, with many exhibition halls and excellent exhibits, especially the calligraphy and painting hall. After all, these were all brought out from the Palace Museum by Puyi. It can be said that the Palace Museum's first-class treasures were first taken away by Puyi, and then brought to Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek. It's just that Puyi took them away secretly, so what he could take was limited, and he could only pick the lightest ones.

The scale and collection are both acceptable. It was just that the closing time was too early and the third floor painting gallery was not open, which was a bit disappointing.

The monument is a hollow body made of bricks, stones and cement. From a plan view, its shape is a huge map of the Northeast, with a geometric square in front and an irregular green lawn surrounding the base. The entire building is 18 meters high.

Location: A bit out of the way, the entrance for tourists is not clearly marked, and there are few parking spaces. I parked at the north gate and had to walk to the west gate. Who knew it would rain and be windy... 💔

Exhibits: I saw the exhibits on Zhang Guoli's TV show. To be honest, I didn't understand the introduction.

There are so many exhibits of the same type, but there are not many exhibition halls. The third floor was closed at 4 o'clock... so I didn't go up.

Toilets: There are quite a lot of them, you can smell the odor just by walking by... let alone going in...

Souvenirs: They are all unique! I like to buy refrigerator magnets as souvenirs. The ones here are refrigerator magnets with images of cultural relics. There are 12 small pieces in total. This idea is exactly the same as the one in the Lushun Museum ~ haha

The ancient Liaoning exhibition has rich exhibits and rich content.

The Liaoning Museum is a comprehensive museum located at 157 Zhihui 3rd Street, Hunnan District, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China. Its predecessor, the Northeast Museum, opened on July 7, 1949, and it was the first museum established in the People's Republic of China. It is renowned both domestically and internationally for its rich and distinctive collections. Its collection totals 112,000 items (sets). Among its most distinctive and influential works are "Elegy for Cao E," "Tang Copy of Wang Xizhi's Family Calligraphy," Zhang Xu's "Four Ancient Poems in Cursive Script," "Ladies with Flowers in Their Hair," and "Lady Guoguo's Spring Outing," and Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty's "Thousand Character Essay in Cursive Script" and "Picture of Auspicious Cranes," as well as exquisite calligraphy and painting from the Jin, Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties; brocade embroidery from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties; jade artifacts from the Hongshan culture; bronze artifacts from the Shang and Zhou dynasties; Liao dynasty ceramics; steles and inscriptions from various dynasties; woodblock prints from the Ming and Qing dynasties; ancient maps; and coins from various dynasties as recorded in Li Zuoxian's "Collection of Ancient Coins" in the Qing Dynasty.

A very ordinary museum in the eyes of outsiders.

I came to the Liaoning Provincial Museum because of its reputation. It is a newly built building with a grand scale. When I went there, the exhibition hall was not yet fully open. The exhibitions of Manchu culture and Tibetan culture are very unique and worth seeing. The ancient Liaoning exhibition on the third floor is the highlight. When you come to Liaoning Province, you should go there to learn more about its history. It is worth a visit.

This is an excellent museum. All three floors of the new building are now open. The Liaoning Provincial History Exhibition, a six-year project, encompasses five halls and comprehensively showcases Liaoning's history and culture from prehistory to the Qing Dynasty. Among the exhibits are national treasures such as a Hongshan Culture goddess statue, a duck-shaped glass jug, and a wooden gilded double stirrup. In addition to the general history exhibition, there are also unique exhibitions of Liao Dynasty porcelain, Ming and Qing Dynasty porcelain and jade, and Buddhist sculptures, all showcasing a wealth of exquisite pieces. The entire museum is easily accessible, expansive (a quick tour takes about five hours), and the exhibition environment is excellent. My personal favorite is the Liao Dynasty section of the general history exhibition, which showcases the unique local nomadic culture. The only unfortunate thing is that the Liaoning Provincial Museum's renowned ancient calligraphy and painting hall remains closed, as do some other smaller exhibition halls.

It's still worth a visit. The facilities are very complete and the service is very good. I like the design of the museum. Each exhibition hall has its own characteristics. There are many exhibits, but on the other hand, if there are too many, it will not be exquisite. The Science and Technology Museum and the Free Trade Zone are just outside the door. Hahaha, two hours is enough for a quick tour. When I went there today, five halls were open on the third floor and three or four on the second floor.

It is relatively close to the airport and has three floors. Many exhibition halls are still under renovation, which is a bit disappointing.

Free admission, the new hall still has some decoration smell, but the exhibition hall is okay. It is mainly divided into the Ming and Qing porcelain hall, the Ming and Qing jade hall, the inscription hall and some temporary exhibitions. There are three shortcomings:

1. Although it is said to be one of the nine major museums in China, I feel that its collection is far inferior to that of other provincial museums. There are only some special things left here for historical reasons, such as Puyi’s two jade seals and a blue and white celestial globe vase with cloud dragon pattern worth 1.5 billion yuan.

2. Because it is a new museum, the environment is still good, but the transportation is very inconvenient. There is no direct subway or tram. It is in a relatively remote place, close to Shenyang South Railway Station and the airport. It does not feel very down-to-earth. The geographical location greatly reduces the possibility of visiting.

3. The shopping center is just two shopping platforms built on the side, without a dedicated shopping room. The main reason is that there are no unique peripheral products. In fact, you can design some unique small accessories or refrigerator magnets to increase your own financial income.

Overall, the visit was quite pleasant, as the volunteer team was quite capable. The explanations were thorough and thoughtful, and they answered visitors' questions as much as possible. Unfortunately, the museum's own guide app wasn't very easy to download. If I hadn't followed the volunteer team, I would have just walked around and been done with it.

Located on Zhihui 3rd Street in Hunnan District, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China, the museum is the first established in the People's Republic of China and is renowned both domestically and internationally for its rich and distinctive collections. Among its collections are exquisite calligraphy, including the unadorned and elegant "Cao E's Poems" from the Jin Dynasty, the vigorous and elegant "Dream Dian Tie" by Ouyang Xun of the Tang Dynasty, and his early work, "Thousand Character Essay in Running Script." Authentic Ouyang Xun works are rare, and have long served as a model for calligraphers.

The Liaoning Provincial Museum is located in the Hunnan New District, near Tram Line 3. The museum is large, with three floors, but currently only the first floor has exhibitions; floors 2-3 are currently being set up. Security checks are required for entry, but no ID card is required to exchange for a ticket. Commemorative tickets are available at the information desk. Free Wife is available, as is a password information desk. Download the Liaoning Museum app after connecting to the internet for free guided tours. The first floor is divided into three exhibition halls and five temporary exhibition halls. Three of the halls house long-term thematic exhibitions, including stone tablets, jade artifacts, and porcelain. The remaining temporary exhibition halls are all temporary exhibitions. The museum also has a restaurant, where two vegetarian dishes cost 10 yuan, one meat dish and one vegetarian dish cost 20 yuan, and one meat dish and two vegetarian dishes cost 25 yuan. Prices are reasonable.

Visit the museum to better understand the story of this city. There are many palace treasures to visit in the museum, and there is also a place to eat and eat simple fast food.

It's a bit far from the city center, accessible by tram. Currently, only one floor is open, but it's large enough to warrant a full day of exploration. The exhibits are of high quality, with many coming from the Palace Museum. Legend has it that they were acquired in exchange for the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival.

The exhibition content and layout are very good. It is a good place to learn about history and appreciate art. You can download the Liaoning Museum app and the audio content first, and listen to it while watching.

I was very lucky on the day of the visit. I met Ms. Guo, a volunteer researcher. Under her explanation, each exhibit became a fascinating historical story. Whether it was a cold inscription or a gorgeous porcelain, it could provide interesting historical background knowledge and an artistic appreciation perspective. The walk lasted more than two hours until closing time. The audience kept growing and we were reluctant to leave. I hope that Liaoning Museum will continue such volunteer interpretation services to make the museum lively.

The museum is quite large, and I heard it's newly relocated. When I visited, only the first, second, and third floors were open, still undergoing installation. There's a service counter on the first floor where you can download an app, allowing you to scan a QR code for automated explanations while viewing the exhibits. While only the first floor is open, the exhibits are quite extensive, including halls showcasing Qing Dynasty jade and porcelain. It wasn't crowded. Nearby are the provincial-level Science and Technology Museum and Library, both worth exploring.

It is far from the city center and the transportation is not very convenient, but the architecture is very ambitious. There are few museums of this size in China.

Evergrande, Evergrande, it feels great! There are many exhibits, and they look very good!

Only two or three exhibition halls (ceramics hall and jade hall) are open for the time being, and calligraphy and painting halls are not open, so it is not recommended to go this year.

Because it is free, it gives a very high cost performance. Although only one floor is open, the quality of the exhibits is really good. The exhibits mainly from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to modern times reflect the cultural heritage of Liaoning.

1. The new museum is quite far away. We took an Uber with a 70% discount and still spent 40 yuan. But a friend said we didn't find the right route, and she got there on the bus for 1 yuan...

Currently, only the first floor is open, with two permanent exhibitions of jade and porcelain, and several temporary exhibits. The infrastructure is excellent, and a unique feature is the small computers installed on the seating areas, where you can learn about jade and porcelain. There's also a quiz area in the porcelain hall, and three machines that can make first-hand porcelain. You can swipe your finger to select the shape, pattern, color, and more. Looking forward to its completion soon!

3. There were very few people, and basically you could experience all the activities I mentioned above. There were plenty of paper cups in the water dispenser, and the air conditioning was comfortable. Even though there were not many exhibits, we still looked around for a long time.

4. Remember to bring cash! We didn't bring any cash, so we couldn't pay the 200 yuan deposit for the rental tour, couldn't buy postcards, and Alipay, WeChat, and bank cards weren't accepted here, so bring cash.

5. Dedicated to collecting petal cups from various museums [expression]

Free venue, a pretty good place, there are many museums inside, it is worth a visit

It's directly accessible via Metro Line 2. Transportation is very convenient, and the museum is huge. It has three floors and is very impressive. It's one of the better museums I've visited, and there's no entrance fee. They also offer free water, which is a plus. There's also a cafe inside.

Many of the exhibits are from abroad, which is unusual in Chinese museums, where foreign objects make up a third of the exhibits. There's foreign currency and clothing, but I was particularly interested in the ancient Roman perfume bottles. I never imagined such exquisite perfume bottles existed in ancient times. There are also famous Chinese paintings that left a lasting impression. There are also many Chinese artifacts, but most are from ancient Liaoyang Province, with many from Huludao. Each floor has five pavilions, and the design makes for a very user-friendly experience. There are benches outside each pavilion, and inside, there's a wishing wall with wishes posted by many people. It's quite a spectacle. It takes about two hours to complete the visit.

If you are short on time in Liaoyang, it is a good place to come because it is very close to the train station and is worth visiting.

This is the largest museum in the three northeastern provinces. The old building was located in City Hall Square. The new building, opened in 2015, is located at 157 Zhihui 3rd Street, east of the Central Square in Hunnan District. It boasts a collection of over 110,000 items. It's open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and closed from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. It's closed every day except on New Year's Eve. Tickets are issued with ID cards, and security checks are required upon entry. Take Metro Line 2, get off at Baitahe Road, transfer to Tram Line 1, get off at the Operation Center, or take Bus No. 130 or 108 to the Quanyun 5th Road Bus Hub. Currently, only the first floor of the museum is open. It features exhibitions of jade, calligraphy, and porcelain, among other items. The collection is extensive and well-presented. Free guided tours are available, with audio guides and four scheduled sessions at 9:30 AM, 10:30 AM, 1:30 PM, and 2:30 PM. It's best to plan your visit before these times. The new building is a bit far away, making transportation difficult.

The Liaoning Museum has moved to a new building in Hunnan District, adjacent to the Science and Technology Museum. The old building is now closed. Currently, only the first floor is open, with seven exhibition halls. The three on the left are: Yantian Life (an exhibition of Ning Xi's calligraphy and paintings), Mengli Jiashan (an exhibition of works by an American-based artist whose work I can't remember), and Liaoning Folk Embroidery, both of which are quite good. The four on the right are: Qing Dynasty Porcelain, Qing Dynasty Jade, and Fan Paintings and Tombstones. There are several temporary exhibition halls, and there's a European glass exhibition planned soon, which I really wanted to see, but I couldn't make it. It took me about four hours to see it all, which I think was enough. I was actually looking forward to the exhibitions on the second and third floors, but I couldn't see them. I highly recommend it; it's excellent and will surely be even more exciting once it's fully open. The porcelain and jade exhibitions have many interactive activities for visitors, which is really great. Not only can you expand your understanding, but you can also make your own porcelain and sell it! The museum is very impressive, and there's even hot water and disposable cups in the lobby. It's definitely worth a visit.

Parking is convenient around the new museum, and the cafeteria is affordable, with set meals costing ¥25 per person. Because it recently moved to the Hunnan New District, only the first floor is currently open, and there aren't many exhibits. However, the temporary Napoleon exhibition is quite interesting.

The Liaoning Museum is located in the Hunnan District in southern Shenyang, nestled in what was once the National Games Village. It's quite far from downtown Shenyang, making transportation extremely difficult. Taxis are almost impossible to get, and you have to walk quite a distance to see the tram. It was closed on Monday during the National Day holiday, which made my trip a wasted trip. The museum is quite new, with only one floor open. However, I was fortunate to be able to see the French Napoleon exhibition, which features many authentic items used by Napoleon and artwork related to him. Other exhibition halls display inscriptions, fans, calligraphy and paintings, and embroidery.

Attention everyone!!! The old museum here has been closed. The new museum is located in Hunnan. The first floor is just open to visitors, and the second and third floors are still under preparation. I happened to catch the Napoleon exhibition and learned a lot. There are free water dispensers and paper cups in the venue, both hot and cold, which is very user-friendly. There is also an exhibition of fine porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties and an exhibition of stele carvings from the Wei and Jin dynasties, which is dazzling. It is worth a visit

The Liaoning Provincial Museum is a comprehensive museum with free admission. Open from April 1st to October 31st, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (last admission at 4:00 PM), and from November 1st to March 31st, 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM (last admission at 3:30 PM). It is closed on Mondays (except for national holidays) and Chinese New Year's Eve. Originally located southeast of Shenyang City Hall Square, it has now relocated to the northeast of Hunnan District Central Square. To reach the museum, take Metro Line 2 to Baitahe Road Station, transfer to Tram Line 1, and get off at the Operation Center. From there, travel 800 meters south to the Liaoning Provincial Museum.

The Liaoning Provincial Museum is quite good. There was also an exhibition of Venice, Italy that day, and I saw many Renaissance paintings, early sculptures and porcelain.

I've been to the old museum many times and it often has great temporary exhibitions. It's worth mentioning the official WeChat account of the Liaoning Provincial Museum, which talks about the history and customs of each solar term. I'm looking forward to visiting the new museum.

It's already moved. I only realized the Provincial Museum had moved when I got to the Liaoning Grand Theater. Friends going there, please be careful... don't go the wrong way.
