Located in Hexi District, Tianjin Museum is the main comprehensive museum in Tianjin and a place to learn about Tianjin. The museum has rich exhibits, including jade, porcelain, calligraphy and painting collections. Cultural relics such as Snow Scenery and Cold Forest, Yellow Jade Pig Dragon, Sui Dynasty White Glaze Double Dragon Handle Lianbelly Vase, and Western Zhou Dynasty Taibao Ding can all be seen here. Tianjin Museum has a total of five floors. The first to third floors are each a theme exhibition hall, and the fifth floor is a collection exhibition hall with several special exhibitions. The exhibition halls that showcase Tianjin's history and culture include the "Origin of Tianjin Humanities" exhibition hall on the first floor, the "Hundred Years of Tianjin" exhibition hall on the third floor, and the "Tianjin Folk Art Exhibition" special exhibition on the fifth floor. In addition, there are the "Collection of Fine Works Exhibition" exhibition hall on the second floor, the "Tianjin Collector Donated Cultural Relics Exhibition" special exhibition on the fifth floor, and several special exhibitions of porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and jade, etc. There are more than 200,000 exhibits in total, which is very rich. In addition to these permanent exhibitions, the museum often holds some temporary exhibitions. If you happen to encounter them, you can visit them. You can listen to the Guide of cultural relics in the museum, which is very convenient. If you want to learn in depth, you can also ask a Guide. The Guide needs to be booked by phone three days in advance. It takes about 2-3 hours to visit the whole museum simply. If you want to have a deeper understanding, it will take half a day or even longer. The "Origin of Tianjin Humanities" exhibition hall is located on the right side of the lobby on the first floor. It summarizes the history of Tianjin from the Paleolithic Age to the middle and late Qing Dynasty. Through the unearthed cultural relics and pictures and text descriptions of pottery, bronze, iron and other local cultural relics in Tianjin, it shows the development process of Tianjin from a barren land to a canal city to a regional hub. It is a place to understand the ancient history of Tianjin. The "Collection of Cultural Relics Exhibition" exhibition hall is located on the second floor. It is the focus of the exhibition in the museum. It concentrates dozens of cultural relics in the Tianjin Museum. Each one is a treasure. Cultural relics such as the Western Zhou Taibao Ding and the Sui Dynasty white glaze double dragon handle Lianbel Chuanping are worth visiting. The "China's Century Look at Tianjin" exhibition hall is located on the third floor, showing the history of Tianjin over the past century from 1804 to the founding of the People's Republic of China. Because Tianjin was once a northern industrial and commercial city and a window city for China to the outside world, there is a saying that "China's Century Look at Tianjin". There are real-life simulated streets in the exhibition hall, and it is very interesting to walk between the "streets". There are also "Western goods" such as Coca-Cola billboards in Tianjin City at that time, which can be visited and learned. Several other special exhibitions are in the exhibition hall on the fifth floor, including the exhibition of cultural relics donated by Tianjin collectors, the exhibition of Tianjin folk art, the exhibition of ancient Chinese jade, the exhibition of fine works of Yangzhou School of Painting, the exhibition of blue and white porcelain of Ming and Qing Dynasties, the exhibition of Shanghai School of Painting, and many other exhibitions. There are rich calligraphy and painting, jade and porcelain. Among them, "Snow Scenery and Cold Forest" is one of the treasures of the town hall, which must not be missed. https://youimg1.tripcdn.com/target/0106s120008633viz5055_D_10000_1200.jpg?proc=autoorient " style="width: 100%;">
