Historical museum

One of the central attractions, both in terms of historical significance and architectural value, is the Beijing Historical Museum building near Tiananmen Square. In a strict stone building with two rows of high pillars stretching along the facade, two museums fit at once. In the Museum of the Revolution you can learn about the history of the liberation struggle of the Chinese people. The Historical Museum acquaints visitors with the history of China from antiquity to the middle of the XIX century.

The Historical Museum has been fulfilling its scientific and educational mission for many years. The exposition is divided into three large sections, in accordance with a certain historical and cultural era. On a huge square there are several thousand different exhibits. Numerous showcases and stands store rare artifacts of thousands of years ago and objects more familiar to the common man. The history of China is told by colorful dioramas and models, copies of works of art and authentic creations collected from many places in China. The exposition is carefully thought out, taking into account all the latest achievements of the museum business.
