This is one of the popular and very well known tourist destinations of Beijing. Originally an art museum, famous for exclusive collection of ancient porcelain, bronze, calligraphy, painting, jade, sculpture, Buddhist statues from imperial China and unique architecture – the museum is worthy enough to visit for the visitors. If you are in Beijing, considering not visiting this museum would definitely be a big miss! Plenty of artistic elements are there, exhibited nicely to allure the visitors. It is just a few minutes away from the nearest metro station and thus, reaching this place would not be a great deal of challenge for any visitor.

This is a beautiful space. With over 80K artefacts, you won't worry that you missed somenthing about the Chinese culture, archeology and history. It is a massive building, forbidding from the outside; the interiors are extraordinarily well presented. The huge hall featuring a bronze cilinder the size of 5 story building and an archway from Ming dynasty centrally placed. We had a guided tour starting from the top floor; it can be exhausting - but it's well worth it. Model villages are particularly nice. The museum shop is on the lower underground level - again, this is a place to shop for beautifully manufactured replicas, althought these are not the cheapest in Beijing. But the friendliness of staff will put you at ease and you can have a bonus of looking at their packaging skills. #beijingtrip #urbanexplorer #oldarchitecture

Time: 2024.10.01--2024.11.01 (closed on Mondays) - 9:00--17:00 (last admission at 16:00) Location: 2nd floor, Rotunda, Capital Museum Topic: The Qingming Riverside Scene, which has not been seen in Liaoning Museum for ten years, has arrived in Beijing Tickets: Free, by reservation 🤳Explanation:🈚 - The Grand Canal themed calligraphy and painting exhibition will last until January 5, 2025. The heavy-color folk painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by Qiu Ying, loaned by Liaoning Provincial Museum, will only be on display until November 1. The last time it was exhibited was at the "Ten Continents High Meeting·Wumen School of Painting Qiu Ying Special Exhibition" held by Suzhou Museum in November 2015. There are many copies of Qiu Ying's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in circulation. The one in Liaoning Museum has been circulated in an orderly manner and is recognized by the academic community as Qiu Ying's authentic work. - The composition was based on Zhang Zeduan's Along the River During the Qingming Festival, which uses heavy green and blue colors to depict the social life of Suzhou City in the Ming Dynasty. There are more than two thousand characters in the painting, and they all have different expressions and are lifelike. It represents the typical style and highest level of the creation of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in later generations. It is not only a masterpiece of customs that connects the past and the future in the history of ancient Chinese painting, but also a powerful illustration for studying the social life and cultural history of the middle and late Ming Dynasty! - The whole scroll can be divided into four main sections: The first paragraph is the scenery of the village 🌄, with endless mountains, beautiful 🏠 pastoral scenes, and the beautiful scenery of shepherds riding cows 🐂 by the river. The 2️⃣th paragraph is the Rainbow Bridge across the two banks. The boats in the river are shoulder to shoulder, and the two banks are busy. Walking along the river and crossing the Rainbow Bridge, you will see children playing on the grass and citizens gathering on the stage to watch folk performances. The 3️⃣th paragraph is the city streets. Following the river 💦, you enter the market from outside the city gate. You will see all kinds of people 👫, various shops, and various kinds of carriages and sedans 🛷. The houses are neatly built, and people are bustling on the streets. The 4️⃣th paragraph is the Jinmingchi Palace👑. The scene ends with magnificent palace buildings and lively dragon boat racing, and is fixed on the magnificent pavilions and palaces in the mountains. - The entire scroll is complex in content, depicting scenes of the Qingming Festival in the suburbs, the city, and the palace of Suzhou, reflecting the prosperity of Suzhou at that time. Judging from the details in the painting, gold-painted lacquerware, finely mounted poems and paintings, tinware, dyeing workshops, and various copperware are all characteristics of Suzhou in the Ming Dynasty. The brothel, 📚 study, southern goods, bright flowers💐, and female copper needles can all make people feel the charm of Suzhou in the Ming Dynasty🍃 - The technique is based on Zhang Zeduan's expression. Many buildings appear in the scroll, and the painting technique of combining reality and illusion is used to show the multiple levels of the city wall through lines of varying thickness and discontinuity. The bricks and stones on the city wall are displayed in a combination of thick and light ink, further painting the solid and strong Suzhou city wall on paper.

During my recent adventure in Beijing, I decided to dedicate a morning to diving deep into the city's rich history, and I'm so glad I did! The Capital Museum was the perfect place to do just that, and guess what? It's completely free! Plus, I was pleasantly surprised by how English-friendly it was, making my journey through centuries of Chinese history even smoother. If you're looking for a fascinating and educational way to spend a few hours in Beijing, I highly recommend this museum. It's not just a collection of artifacts; it's a captivating story of how Beijing transformed from a humble Mongol outpost to the grand metropolis it is today. I loved how the museum walked me through the pivotal Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, showcasing the city's evolution under each rule. One of the highlights for me was learning about the birth of the famous Peking Opera troupe under Emperor Qianlong. Imagine, the very beginnings of this iconic art form happening right here! But it wasn't all about emperors and grand palaces. The museum also offered a glimpse into the everyday life of Beijingers through the seasons, showcasing the charming details of their daily routines. It made the historical figures feel a bit more relatable, you know? And as if that wasn't enough, I stumbled upon a fantastic temporary exhibition from Moscow's Tretyakov State Gallery! Talk about a cultural exchange! Seeing so many beautiful Russian paintings in the heart of Beijing was a unique and unexpected treat. It was a wonderful reminder of how art can bridge cultures and connect us all. So, if you're planning a trip to Beijing and want to get a real feel for the city's incredible past, make sure to add the Capital Museum to your itinerary. It's a journey through time you won't soon forget! And who knows, you might even catch a surprise exhibition from across the globe! #beijing #china

#CanadaFlightEvent Detailed Location: 16 E Chang'an St, 前门 Dongcheng, China 100051 This is the Capital Museum of China, which houses over 1 million artifacts. One day was not enough to see everything. I recommend it as a travel course.

This is the Beijing Capital Museum of China. Starting with the year of the White Emperor, since Emperor Wu of Han promulgated the 'Taichulyeok', the first day of the first lunar month has become the beginning of the year. In the past, it was called 'Seollal', and after the Xinhai Revolution, it was renamed 'Spring Festival'. "From ancient times to the present, the Spring Festival has always been the most magnificent, reunion, and auspicious festival in our country, and its ceremonies constitute the most important time and space rituals for the Chinese people. "During the Spring Festival, from the imperial family to the commoners, the scholars, farmers, artisans, merchants, and trades, everyone prepares carefully and enjoys it with their whole family, not only to treat themselves for their hard work of the year, but also to welcome the new year. The Spring Festival in Beijing is cold and hot, grand and lively, and people look forward to the spring spirit in the process of experiencing the change of the old and the new. #China #Beijing #ChinaTravel #TravelPlan #JanuaryTravelSupportEvent

🕐️DAY 1: Capital Museum Morning: Travel from Tianjin to Beijing. The journey takes about 1.5 hrs. The expressway is toll-free during the Lunar New Year. Remember to apply for a Beijing Entry Permit for vehicles entering the 6th Ring Road in advance. Afternoon: Lunch & Capital Museum We arrived in Beijing around 12pm and had lunch at Hai Wan Ju. Their Zha Jiang Mian (fried sauce noodles) is quite authentic. The price is affordable, about CNY 40 per person. You can spend 2–3 hrs at the Capital Museum. It's worth visiting if you are interested in history, cultural relics, and especially bronzeware. Evening: Qianmen Street Temple Fair Qianmen Street is located within the 2nd Ring Road. Cars can only be parked outside the 2nd Ring Road. We took the subway to Qianmen Street. There were quite a lot of people. For dinner, we chose Men Ding Rou Bing (meat pie) on Qianmen Street. The price is also reasonable, about CNY 50–60 per person. 🕐️DAY 2: Morning: Auto Museum The temperature in Beijing is low in the morning, so indoor activities are the first choice for families with children. My son loves cars, so the museum was like heaven for him. The ticket price for adults is CNY 29. The Auto Museum has five floors. There are not many exhibits on the first floor. The 2nd to 5th floors display various classic cars and electric car models. It's a good choice for car model enthusiasts. Afternoon: Beijing Livat We originally planned to go to Tanzhe Temple in the afternoon, but the highest temperature in Beijing in early February was around 4°C, and it was windy, so it felt very cold. We decided to skip Tanzhe Temple and went to Beijing Livat, an indoor shopping mall. There is an IKEA inside, and a Sam's Club nearby. It's a comfortable place for kids. Evening: Beijing Livat 🕐️DAY 3: Morning: Return to Tianjin We originally planned to visit the Science and Technology Museum, but my son had diarrhea and vomiting in the morning, so we had to return to Tianjin earlier than planned. 💗Other tips: Wear warm clothes in Beijing in February, especially if you are from out of town, as you'll be spending most of your time outdoors.

This special exhibition at Capital Museum has a wide range of artistic objects and shows collections from the most brilliant Greek museums, including Hellenic National Archaeological Museum, Archaeological Museum of Heraklion, Epigraph Museum, etc. The gold mask of Agamemnon, the head of Zeus and stoa from Parthenon are highlights of the exhibition. #museum #vacation 🕰️Business Hours: 9:00-16:00

Currently, the Capital Museum is hosting a ticketed exhibition titled "The Greeks: Agamemnon to Alexander the Great," which has attracted more visitors than other free exhibitions. The exhibition features 270 pieces (sets) of artifacts from the National Archaeological Museum of Athens and other institutions, most of which are being displayed outside Greece for the first time. Spanning from the Neolithic period in Greece (5800 BC) to the Hellenistic period (1st century BC), the exhibition offers a panoramic view of ancient Greek history. The exhibition title mentions two historical figures: Agamemnon, the leader of many city-states in ancient Greece, whose deeds are recorded in Homer's epic "Iliad," and Alexander the Great, the King of Macedonia and the foremost of the four great Western military commanders. Alexander ascended the throne at the age of 20, unifying all of Greece, sweeping through Central Asia, toppling the Persian Empire, and occupying the entire territory of Egypt without a single battle. He conquered three of the four great ancient civilizations. Alexander died in Babylon in 323 BC at the age of 33. The most popular exhibit in the special exhibition is the replica of the "Mask of Agamemnon" (Figure 1), a gold mask handcrafted by hammering. The original artifact is a national treasure of Greece and cannot be taken out of the country. Even the replica is an antique from the 19th century. (Figure 2) Bust of Alexander the Great. (Figure 3) The oldest exhibit: a pottery jar from 5800 BC. (Figure 4) Myrtle-shaped crown. The fragrant myrtle plant is a sacred object of the goddess Aphrodite in Greek mythology, symbolizing immortality. (Figure 6) "Baking tray" shaped artifact, 2800 BC.

As one of the major exhibitions in the Capital Museum's "World Civilization Exchange and Mutual Learning" series, the exhibition brings together 270 pieces (sets) of collections from 14 museums and cultural institutions in Greece, including the National Archaeological Museum of Athens and the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki.

The exhibition is rich in content, not only displaying the precious relics of Beijing's 700,000-year history of human habitation, 3,000-year history of the city, and 800-year history of the capital, but also collecting and displaying many treasures of Chinese civilization, with regular changes in exhibition content. For children, the Capital Museum offers a wealth of interactive displays and educational areas. Since the central axis of Beijing is very long, there are many things to remember and talk about, so today I will only talk about a part of it, about some memories from Yongdingmen to Tianqiao. The earliest memories of this area date back to the mid-to-late 1980s. At that time, my aunt's family moved to Beiwai Road, the west gate of the Temple of Heaven Park, so I often came to my aunt's house to play during the summer and winter vacations, and therefore I have quite a few memories of this area. It looks pretty good! So excellent!

20241130 Capital Museum~Exhibition of Beijing History In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Beijing and northeast regions during the Xia dynasty were called "Xuanqiu". At that time, the Beijing region was the intersection of three major cultural areas: the Central Plains, the north, and the Haidai region. The Erlitou culture in the Central Plains influenced the lower layer of the Xiajiadian culture in the north through the Beijing region. By the late Shang dynasty, the Beijing region had developed into a vassal state in the north of the Shang dynasty. I came here especially to see the museum's most prized possession! ☞Boju Li Early Western Zhou dynasty (mid-11th century BC to mid-10th century BC) 33 cm in height, 22.9 cm in mouth diameter, 24.2 cm in belly diameter, 7,500 g in weight. Unearthed from Tomb No. 251 at the Liulihe Site in Fangshan District, Beijing in 1974 Boju Li was unearthed from Liulihe in Fangshan, Beijing in 1974. It is exquisitely cast and majestic, especially with its entire body decorated with seven embossed ox head patterns, vividly depicting the demeanor of the ox. Its unique and magnificent shape has high aesthetic and artistic value, making it a rare treasure among bronze ritual vessels of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. This shape is extremely rare in ancient bronzes, showcasing the superb level of ancient casting techniques in Beijing. Inside the lid and the inner wall of the vessel, there are two identical inscriptions with a total of 15 characters: "On the day of Wuchen, the Yan Marquis bestowed cowries upon Boju, who used them to make a zun vessel for his father Wu." The general meaning is that the owner of the vessel, Boju, was honored by the reward from the Yan Marquis and cast the Boju Li to commemorate the event. Since the discovery of the Liulihe Site in Fangshan in 1962, it quickly became the focus of attention for archaeologists. After years of excavation and research, scholars finally identified it as the location of the Yan State, where King Wu of Zhou enfeoffed Duke Shao Shi after the fall of the Shang dynasty. The Yan capital of the Western Zhou dynasty has a history of over 3,000 years and marks the beginning of the city of Beijing. Boju Li is a relic left by the Yan State of the Western Zhou dynasty, a typical representative of the bronze vessels of the Yan State, and a witness to the birth of Beijing.

20241130 Capital Museum~Yandi Bronze Art Exhibition On the fourth floor of the Rotunda~Yandi Bronze Art Exhibition is a permanent exhibition. ☞Red copper inlaid bird and animal pattern pot Mid-Warring States Period (378-284 BC) Unearthed in Huairou, Beijing The whole is decorated with red copper inlaid leaf patterns and animal patterns such as birds, tigers, and horses.

20241124 Capital Museum-"Touching" the Heart of Russia You can enjoy exotic scenery without leaving the country. On the basement floor of the Capital Museum, the "Russian Soul - Exhibition of Paintings from the State Tretyakov Gallery" is worth a visit👀! The profound heritage of Russian culture is presented in each painting. The work has colorful colors, smooth lines and exquisite composition. Looking at it, it is not only a quiet canvas, but also a vivid display of the emotions and creativity of Russian artists, telling hundreds of years of stories in silence. Each work is a microcosm of the unique charm of Russian culture. They are not only witnesses of history, but also shining treasures of the Russian national spirit, touching the hearts of Russians. The exhibition is divided into four sections: "Symphony of Landscape", "Faces of the Soul", "A Beautiful Life" and "Marks of History". The first unit displays landscape paintings, depicting Russia's vast land from east to west and from south to north, its diverse natural landscapes, the changing seasons, and its charming urban and rural landscapes. The second unit mainly consists of portraits and genre paintings, showing Russian people of different ages, genders, classes and occupations. The third unit takes public life and private life as the main line, showing how Russians integrate the philosophical concept of "beauty is life" into a wide range of life, reflecting that beauty is both the ideal of life and the pursuit of life. ☞ The Annunciation, Konstantin Ioun, 1922, oil on canvas, Tretyakov Gallery, Tretyakov Gallery Konstantin Ion was one of the founders of the Russian Union of Artists, a member of the World of Art and the Association of Revolutionary Artists of Russia. In the painting, the beauty of nature and the architectural beauty of the ancient Cathedral of the Assumption, as well as the glittering golden dome and the blue sky of spring, together create a festive and joyful atmosphere. ☞《Red Square, Moscow》 Author: Fyodor Yakovlevich Alexeev Fyodor was one of the first Russian masters to pioneer urban landscape painting, and he created this work while living in Moscow from 1800 to 1801. The inspiration for the creation came from the ancient Moscow architecture. The painter once wrote: After considering Moscow, I found many objects that are very suitable for painting, but it also confused me. Which angle should I start from? This requires a good choice, so I started with a small sketch of St. Basil's Cathedral Square and used winter scenery to set the atmosphere. The fourth unit uses several key historical nodes to showcase Russia’s rich cultural background that combines the characteristics of both Eastern and Western cultures due to its unique geographical location. Come and have a look when you have time. If you don’t have time, you can also go to the official account cloud to appreciate it.

Bronze ware, porcelain, calligraphy and painting... Each exhibit carries a heavy history, quietly telling stories of the past. 📸 The most shocking exhibit is the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival."

💥Located at No. 16, Fuxingmen Outer Street, on the west side of Beijing, the Capital Museum is low-key and reserved, welcoming you. 💥Compared to the crowded National Museum, there are fewer people here, so you can think quietly. The transportation is also convenient. You can take the subway line 1 to Muxidi and walk a few steps to get there. The parking lot is not small, and there are parking spaces if you drive there. 🎉Beijing, the weather, climate, and products do not seem to have much advantage, so why is it the capital? However, looking at the history of more than 3,000 years told by the Capital Museum, you will understand why it is the capital. From the Yan State in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, Youzhou in the Han, Jin, Sui, and Tang Dynasties, Nanjing in the Liao Dynasty, Zhongdu in the Jin Dynasty, Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty, and the capital of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the expansion of China's territory, Beijing increasingly highlights its important political and military status. It is also the intersection and fusion of the Central Plains farming culture and nomadic culture. All these have made today's Beijing, which is not so delicate and delicate, but is hidden under the simple and simple appearance, tolerant and resilient. Capital Museum 🎉If the National Museum concentrates the essence of the country, the Capital Museum shows the condensed history of the imperial capital. If you want to understand Beijing, you can go to the Capital Museum. It's free, just make a reservation. Monday is a rest day. There are also Beijing folk customs and special exhibitions in the museum. There are coffee and simple meals on the second floor and the basement. If you are tired, you can rest and replenish your energy🤭🤭
