Special Exhibitions of Cultural Relics in the new museum facility

The Liaoning Provincial Museum, located in the Heping District of Northeast China's Shenyang City, is a provincial-level historical and art museum of China, famed for its rich and rare collections.

Its new building facility, opened on November 12, 2004, was a key cultural project during Liaoning's "Ninth Five Year" plan, featuring modern and comprehensive service functions and top-notch equipment.

When it was opened to the public, the new facility held seven special exhibitions of its collections, including the "Exhibition of National Treasures of Painting and Calligraphy of the Qing (1644-1911) Palace," "Exhibition of Chinese Ancient Tablet Inscriptions," "Porcelain Exhibition of the Qing Palace," "Ceramics Exhibition of the Liao (916-1125) Dynasty," "Exhibition of Chinese Ancient Coins," and "Craftworks of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing Dynasties."

The exhibitions covered an area of 5,203 square meters, displaying 3,084 cultural relics, 108 pictures, 11 illustrations, 4 paintings, 2 group relievos, and 7 restored scenes, which was quite well received by the visitors.

The "Special Exhibitions of Cultural Relics" in the museum's new building won the Prize of Elaborate Works in the Sixth National Top Ten Museums (2003-2004) competition.
