Liuzhou Museum
柳州博物馆
A comprehensive museum across from Liuhou Park, telling the story of Liuzhou's prehistory since the “Liujiang Man,” its historical development and its multi-ethnic culture.
The Liuzhou Museum is on Jiefang North Road in Chengzhong District, facing Liuhou Park across the street. It is one of the earliest prefecture-level comprehensive museums in Guangxi. Its permanent exhibits cover Liuzhou's early humans and prehistoric culture, including materials related to the “Liujiang Man” and “Bailiandong Man,” the city's historical development, cultural artifacts of ethnic groups such as the Zhuang, Dong, Miao and Yao, and Liu Zongyuan's connection to Liuzhou. There are also local exhibitions on scholar's stones and other regional specialties. It is a good place to understand the cultural foundations behind Liuzhou's image beyond that of a “mountain-and-water industrial city.” Allow about 1.5 hours. It can be combined with Liuhou Park and the East Gate Tower for a half-day outing. Admission is free, but entry requires an ID card. The museum is usually closed on Mondays. Transport: take a city bus to the “Liuhou Park” stop.
