Situated in the West Mountain Park in Guilin City of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the Guilin Museum was prepared in 1964 and opened to the public in 1986.
Boasting a collection of 21,500 cultural relics, the Museum is famed for its blue and white porcelains of the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911) and its rich collection of cultural relics of the 11 ethnic minorities in the region. Among the collection, the most treasured are a blue and white porcelain vase decorated with patterns of pine, bamboo and plum of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and the Sishen Mirror (Four Gods Mirror) of the Sui Dynasty (581-618).
The Museum features four exhibition halls: the Exhibition Hall of Guilin Historical Relics, the Exhibition Hall of Guangxi Minority Folklore, the Exhibition Hall of Presents from International Exchanges, and the Exhibition Hall of Porcelains of Ming and Qing Dynasties. Among them, the Exhibition Hall of Guangxi Minority Folklore exhibits the customs of the 11 local ethnic minorities, and the Exhibition Hall of Porcelains of Ming and Qing Dynasties exhibits more than 200 porcelains.
