Jinsha Relic Site Museum is located in the northwest of Chengdu city. It is an archaeological museum established on the site of the Jinsha Site, an important archaeological discovery of the ancient Shu civilization, to protect, study, and display the Jinsha Site and the ancient Shu civilization.
In April 2007, the Jinsha Site Museum was officially opened to the public. The museum covers an area of 300000 square meters and has a total building area of about 40000 square meters. It is divided into a relic hall, an exhibition hall, a cultural relics protection and restoration center, a cultural exchange center, and a garden area. The collection of cultural relics is rich in variety and has a complete system, all of which have high historical, scientific, cultural, and artistic value. The exhibition showcases the glory of the ancient Shu Kingdom of Jinsha from multiple perspectives, including archaeological sites, ecological environment, production and daily life, religious rituals, and cultural background.
The Jinsha Site was rated as one of the "Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries in China in 2001", a national key cultural relic protection unit, and one of the first national archaeological site parks. It was also included in the "China World Cultural Heritage Preparatory List" along with the Sanxingdui Site. The gold decoration pattern of the "Sun God Bird" unearthed from the Jinsha Site has been identified as a symbol of Chinese cultural heritage and the core pattern of Chengdu's urban image.
The Jinsha Site Museum is currently a national AAAA level tourist attraction, a national first-class museum, a national primary and secondary school student research and practice education base, and a Sichuan Province postdoctoral innovation practice base.
