Sichuan Museum

Introduction

This is the largest provincial museum in southwest China with more than 150,000 items telling the story of Sichuan. Exhibits include the skull of Ziyang Man from 30,000BC. Displays of tiled murals and frescoes taken from tombs dating back to the Han empire (206BC-220AD) depict in detail a range of daily activities.

A 19th century loom, fabric and embroidery exhibition illustrate the role that silk and brocade have played in the area’s history. Other collections relate to the ethnic minorities of Sichuan and the history of the Communist Party.
