The Jilin Provincial Museum is a first-grade museum in Changchun, Jilin province, China, dedicated to history and art.[1] It is a subordinate unit of the Jilin Province Department of Culture and Tourism.[2]
History
The Jilin Provincial Museum was founded in 1951 and formally opened in Jilin City in 1952. In 1954, the provincial government seat was moved to Changchun, and the Jilin Provincial Museum followed it.[2] In 2012, the museum was listed as a national first-grade museum.[3] After nine years of construction,[4] the museum moved to its present location on Yongshun Road, Nanguan District, in 2016.[2]
Collection
Artefacts from the Goguryeo and Balhae kingdoms, as well as the Khitan Liao and Jurchen dynasties, make up a large proportion of the museum's collection. In addition, the museum has a large number of calligraphic art pieces from various historical periods, including the modern era, and cultural relics from the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army.[2]
Some of the museum's art pieces include:[2]
- Two scrolls painted by the Northern Song poet Su Shi
- 'Hundred Flower Painting' by the Southern Song painter Yang Jieyu [5]
- 'Wenji returns to Han' by the Jurchen dynasty painter Jin Zhangyu

Some of the museums artefacts include:[2]
- The 'Bing Wu Shen Gou', a silver belt hook with gold gilding from Buyeo[4]
- Bronze mirrors with Khitan script
- A painted, stone-cut Khitan pagoda
