the mid-17th century. It is expected to receive as many as 2,000 visitors

terms of size.It will provide an English language city museum map and
currently gives English-language museum brochures. Some information will
be provided in Japanese. It also has other useful services such as a free
cloak desk and a well-stocked museum shop.

The original museum was situated in the Confucius Temple on Guozijian
Street.it was founded as early as 1981. but it was not convenient due to
its location within the ancient temple. Actually it functioned primarily
as a warehouse of relics. It was temporarily closed last year when its
collection was moved to the new 60,000-square-metre building, located
near the Muxidi subway station exit on Line 1, which runs under Chang'an
Avenue.
