Wuhu Museum
芜湖市博物馆
A new museum in the east of the city that tells Wuhu's story, from the Renzi Cave site to the Fanchang kilns, the rice trade and the treaty-port era. Admission is free.
The new Wuhu Museum sits in the government and cultural centre area in the east of the city. Its permanent exhibitions trace the history of the Wuhu region. They include excavation finds from the Renzi Cave (Renzidong) early human site in Fanchang, Han-dynasty tomb artefacts, Song-dynasty Fanchang kiln celadon porcelain, and the prosperous rice trade and treaty-port history of the modern era. There are also displays of crafts such as Wuhu iron painting. Admission is generally free, but you need to book in advance or present an ID card to enter. The museum is closed on Mondays, so follow official notices. It is quite far from the old town, so take a bus or a taxi.
Opening hours
about 09:00–17:00 (closed Mon)
