Zhejiang Provincial Museum

One of China's oldest museums, Zhejiang Provincial Museum was founded in 1929 as the West Lake Museum of Zhejiang Province. Over the past nine decades, the joint efforts of central and local governments have developed the institution into the largest comprehensive museum in the province and a first-class national museum.

Zhejiang Provincial Museum houses over 100,000 items of cultural heritage, which represent a complete sequence of eras. Among them are precious items with distinct regional features and significant academic value such as pottery, jade ware, paintings and calligraphic works.
