Huangshi Museum
黄石市博物馆
A city museum focused on mining and metallurgy, displaying artefacts from the Tonglushan ancient copper mine and historical materials on modern industry.
The museum sits on the shore of Cihu Lake at Tuanchengshan. Its main exhibition centres on mining and metallurgy culture, tracing the story from prehistoric stone tools and Shang and Zhou bronze smelting to modern industries such as Hanyeping and Huaxin Cement. This shows how Huangshi became known as the 'Ancient Bronze Capital and Cradle of Steel'. Special displays include a hoard of coins unearthed at Xisai Mountain. Admission is free (reservation or ID card required), and it is closed on Mondays. The museum lies about 2 km from the city centre. A visit takes about 1.5 hours and can be combined with Cihu Lake and Tuanchengshan.
