About Wuhan Museum
The city's main local-history museum, in Hankou's Jianghan District; the present building opened in 2001 and the museum was named a first-grade national museum in 2008. Its permanent galleries cover Wuhan's ancient history, including models of the Shang-dynasty city of Panlongcheng, and its modern history from 1848 to 1949, alongside collections of bronzes, jades, ceramics and Ming and Qing paintings and calligraphy. Its prize piece is a Yuan-dynasty blue-and-white plum vase.
