Juzhou Museum
莒州博物馆
A county-level museum in Ju County with Dawenkou culture pottery inscriptions and State of Ju bronzes. Pair it with the ancient town of the State of Ju.
The Juzhou Museum is in the urban area of Ju County and focuses on the State of Ju and prehistoric cultures. Its collection includes a Dawenkou culture pottery zun vessel with carved pictographic symbols, considered an important physical clue to the origins of Chinese characters, along with State of Ju bronzes and Han dynasty pictorial stone carvings. Its exhibitions are notably extensive for a county-level museum. Admission is free. The museum is closed on Mondays, and a visit takes about 1 hour. Ju County is about 70 km from Rizhao city center, so plan to visit together with Fulai Mountain and the ancient State of Ju town on the same day.
