Nanjing Museum

Built in the imitation‑Liao architectural style, the grand main hall is a key cultural‑relic protected building itself. Known as “One museum, six galleries, half of Jinling history”, it houses over 430,000 cultural relics spanning prehistory, bronze age, Han‑Tang dynasties, Song‑Yuan‑Ming‑Qing dynasties and the Republic‑of‑China era. The “six‑gallery layout” includes History Gallery, Special Exhibition Gallery, Art Gallery, Digital Gallery, Intangible Heritage Gallery and Republic‑of‑China Gallery. Core highlights include the silver‑thread jade burial suit, the brick painting of Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, Western Han golden beast, hibiscus‑stone censer, and the full‑size‑simulated Republic‑of‑China street scene underground. The Republic‑of‑China Gallery faithfully reproduces old‑Nanjing streets with post office, teahouse and vintage stores, hugely popular for retro‑style photography. It integrates precious cultural relics, immersive scene restoration, digital interactive experience and intangible‑cultural‑heritage displays, and is an essential cultural sightseeing destination for Nanjing trips.
