Guide
- The exterior of the Red Stone Forest is stunning. Seven themed exhibitions run through the epic history of Yunnan civilization, and 200,000 collections show the multicultural treasures of the frontier.
- The bronze bull and tiger case from the Warring States period and the gold Guanyin of the Dali Kingdom are treasures of the museum, supplemented by special temporary exhibitions, decoding the cultural genes of the southwest secret realm.
- Yunnan Provincial Museum is located in Guandu District, Kunming City, next to Guandu Ancient Town. It is a comprehensive museum with the most collections and the largest scale in Yunnan Province. It displays Yunnan's representative cultural relics from ancient times to modern times, and is a good place to learn about Yunnan's history and culture.
- The exterior of the museum is red, with a shape similar to the Stone Forest, which is very special. There are seven permanent exhibitions in the museum, namely the Preface Hall, Ancient Yunnan, Light of Civilization, Southern China Hegemony, Wonderful Fragrant Buddhist Kingdom, Opening up Frontiers and Defending Borders, and Centennial Storms and Rain themed exhibition halls. After walking around from ancient times to the present, you can see all the stories that have happened on this hot land of Yunnan from ancient times to the present.
- Since Yunnan is located on the frontier and is inhabited by many ethnic groups, many cultural relics have traces of ethnic minority culture, which are very characteristic compared with the cultural relics of the interior, especially the cultural relics of the Dali Kingdom and Nanzhao Kingdom, so you may wish to pay attention to them.
- The Yunnan Provincial Museum has a total of about 200,000 cultural relics. When visiting, you may wish to pay more attention to the treasures among them. The bronze bull and tiger case of the Warring States period, the silver-backed gold Acarya Guanyin standing statue of the Dali Kingdom period, the "溪山行旅图轴 (Dwelling in the Mountains)" axis by Guo Xi of the Song Dynasty, the "剡溪访戴图轴 (Visiting Dai on the Yan Creek)" axis by Huang Gongwang of the Yuan Dynasty, and the gem-inlaid gold crown of the Ming Dynasty are all cultural relics and treasures of the museum.
- In addition, the museum regularly holds joint temporary exhibitions and various special exhibitions with other museums. Details of the activities can be found on the official website.
