The Reform and Opening-Up Museum

#urbanwanderings The Reform and Opening-Up Museum is located in Shenzhen, China, and was established to showcase and commemorate the history of China's reform and opening-up. Through a vast collection of historical artifacts, photographs, documents, videos, and multimedia displays, the museum provides a detailed account of the tremendous achievements in the fields of economy, society, and culture since the start of the reform and opening-up in 1978. The museum is divided into several exhibition areas, with a particular focus on Shenzhen’s critical role as a frontier city in this historical period. As the first Special Economic Zone in China, Shenzhen was the testing ground for the reform and opening-up policies. The museum vividly presents how Shenzhen evolved from a small fishing village into a global metropolis, attracting a large number of visitors, especially those interested in studying modern Chinese history.
