Shenzhen Museum
Shenzhen Museum (Chinese: 深圳博物馆)[1] is a multi-functional modern museum in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. It has a total area of 37,000 square meters, and a building area of 18,000 square meters. The original museum, now the Shenzhen Museum of Ancient Art, was established in 1981, but was not formally opened until 1988. It holds more than 20,000 historical and cultural relics, of which the majority originate within the city. The Shenzhen Museum comprises four sites: the Shenzhen Museum of Ancient Art (古代艺术馆) on Tongxin Road, the Shenzhen Museum of History and Folk Culture (历史民俗馆) in Civic Center (also called the Jintian Road branch), the Shenzhen Reform and Opening-up Exhibition Hall (深圳改革开放展览馆) within the Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning, and the Dongjiang River Guerrilla Command Headquarters Memorial Museum (东江游击队指挥部旧址纪念馆) in Luohu District.[2] The Shenzhen Reform and Opening-up Exhibition Hall includes an exhibit on the Chinese economic reform that began in the 1980s.[3] Among the items on display in the exhibit are several from Deng Xiaoping's 1992 southern tour, including the Flying Sparrow spade he used to plant a tree in Shenzhen, the office goods and furniture from Deng Xiaoping's hotel room, and the white Toyota van in which he toured the city.[3] References
