南京博物院
Nanjing Museum
Nanjing Museum presents the history of Jiangsu and China through archaeology, calligraphy and painting, crafts, intangible cultural heritage and special exhibitions. The main museum during the Republic of China and subsequent expansions together constitute a museum group rather than a single exhibition. The collections provide key background for various periods of Nanjing's capital city, and it is more effective to choose a theme to delve deeper into than to rush through all the collections.
