About
Sichuan Museum (also known as 四川博物院) is a museum in Qingyang District, Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in southwestern China. Its address is 251 Huanhua South Road, and the museum is a natural stop for visitors who want to understand the region beyond the city's famous food and teahouses.
What you will see
The museum holds extensive collections drawn from the cultural heritage of Sichuan Province. Among them are artifacts from the Han dynasty, Tibetan art, and traditional Chinese paintings, so the displays move across several periods and traditions in one visit.
- Han dynasty artifacts, showing the province's ancient past
- Tibetan art, reflecting the traditions of the region's ethnic communities
- Traditional Chinese paintings
A blend of cultures
A distinctive theme of the museum is the mix of Han Chinese and ethnic minority traditions in southwestern China. Rather than presenting one strand of history alone, the collections show how these cultures have met and shaped one another across the province. This makes the museum a useful introduction for anyone curious about the diversity within China.

The museum sits in Chengdu, so it pairs well with a day of exploring the city's streets and neighborhoods. Visitors can reach it by contacting the museum directly at +86-28-6552-1569 for any questions about arrangements before going.
