What to expect

National Museum Of China
2m · Admission ticket included

Booking this historian-led experience at the National Museum of China (NMC) is your ticket to skip the guesswork and dive straight into the heart of China's 5,000-year story. While the museum houses over 1.4 million artifacts, the absolute core is the "Ancient China" permanent exhibition—a breathtaking 2,520-object collection located on the B1 (basement) level. This is where you'll find the country's most celebrated national treasures, many of which you've likely seen in textbooks. The catch? With over 500 of these being first-rate national relics, finding them on your own in the museum's 170,000-square-meter space can be a real challenge.

Let your personal historian guide lead the way and bring these silent treasures to life. Here is a taste of the legendary artifacts you will see and the unforgettable things you will do on this journey from the Neolithic Age through the Qing Dynasty.
