Zhenjiang Museum
镇江博物馆（英国领事馆旧址）
A municipal museum housed in the former British Consulate beside Xijindu, with bronzes from the State of Wu, relics from the Six Dynasties through the Ming and Qing, and paintings and calligraphy.
Zhenjiang Museum sits at the foot of Yuntai Mountain on Boxian Road. Its main building is the former British Consulate in Zhenjiang from the late Qing period, five brick-and-stone Western-style buildings set into the hillside that are themselves a nationally protected heritage site. The collection covers Shang and Zhou bronzes excavated in Zhenjiang, Six Dynasties celadon, Tang and Song gold and silverware, and paintings and calligraphy from successive dynasties. It helps visitors understand the history of the Three Mountains of Jingkou and the Grand Canal. It is a few minutes' walk from Xijindu. Admission is usually free, and the museum is closed on Mondays. Please check official announcements for current arrangements.
