Changsha Museum
长沙博物馆
A municipal museum about the history of Changsha, with many fine Changsha kiln porcelain pieces and Chu and Han artefacts. It is less crowded than the Hunan Museum.
The Changsha Museum is in the Xinhe Delta in Kaifu District, next to the Changsha Planning Exhibition Hall. Its permanent exhibition, “The Xiang River Flows North: Changsha History and Culture,” covers the city from prehistory to modern times. Highlights include Changsha kiln underglaze porcelain, Chu and Han lacquerware, and bronzes, and there are also temporary exhibitions. Admission is free, but booking is required, and the museum is closed on Mondays. When the Hunan Museum is fully booked, this is an excellent alternative. Beichen Delta Station on Metro Line 1 is within walking distance.
