Yuncheng Museum is dedicated to collecting, exhibiting, researching, and disseminating the history, culture, and art of Yuncheng city in North China's Shanxi province. It is a national first-class museum established in 1979, with the new building completed in December 2013 and opened to the public on July 1, 2016.

The museum's total collection includes 138,914 items, including 136,188 cultural relics, of which 2,033 are precious artifacts. The collection showcases regional characteristics and categories such as stone-carved tomb epitaphs, opera brick carvings, embroidery, Taoist culture, and Guan Yu (a historical figure) culture. These reflect the rich material production and spiritual beliefs of the ancestors east of the Yellow River.

The museum's basic display revolves around the "East of the Yellow River" theme, highlighting Yuncheng's unique geographical location, abundant cultural relics, and profound human history. The museum features six thematic historical exhibitions and four special exhibitions on Yuncheng's agriculture, industry, urban development, and culture.

Yuncheng Museum greatly emphasizes protecting and researching cultural relics and academic exchanges. It has signed cooperation agreements with institutions such as the School of Archaeology and Museology of Shanxi University, engaging in academic exchanges in cultural relic protection technology and exhibition planning. The museum has also appointed experts from universities and research institutions to provide academic guidance and professional training to its staff in exhibition display, academic research, and cultural relic protection.
