Anshan Museum
鞍山市博物馆
A municipal museum tracing the history of the Anshan area from the Paleolithic era to modern times, with Xiuyan jade artifacts as a highlight.
Anshan Museum sits near 219 Park and Jade Buddha Temple. Its collection covers archaeological finds from the Anshan area, Liao and Jin dynasty relics, Xiuyan jade objects, and the development of Anshan as a modern steel city. The Xiuyan jade exhibits and ancient jade pieces unearthed locally give it a distinctly regional character.
Admission is generally free (with an ID card), and the museum is usually closed on Mondays; check the official notices for current hours. The exhibition space is modest, so one hour is usually enough, and it pairs well with a visit to Jade Buddha Temple.
Opening hours
