Ankang Museum
安康博物馆
A comprehensive museum for learning about Ankang's history and culture, with displays of Neolithic finds from the Han River basin, Han dynasty artifacts, and folk traditions of the Qinba region. Free admission.
Ankang Museum is in the urban area of Hanbin District and is the best introduction to Ankang's history as a crossroads of Qin and Chu culture (“Qin at the head, Chu at the tail”). Permanent displays cover prehistoric cultures of the Han River basin (pottery from sites such as Liujiahe), bronzes and pictorial bricks from the Han and Wei periods, Ming–Qing migration and guild-hall culture, and folk customs of the Qinba mountains. The exhibition is compact and takes about 1–1.5 hours. Admission is free, with tickets issued against your ID card. The museum is generally closed on Mondays; check official notices for opening hours. It is located downtown and can be visited on the same day as Han River Water Street.
