“In my eyes, the museum in Hangzhou is like Hangzhou, elegant and elegant.”
Wang Shasha is a travel blogger. When she goes to a city, she must visit a local museum and guide her fans. At the foot of Wushan Mountain, she recorded with her camera: ” Walking in the Hangzhou Museum is like passing through the history from ancient times to the present. I can’t help but think of the saying’ Qiantang is prosperous since ancient times ‘.”
Museums are the witness and precipitation of history and culture, but also an important carrier of cultural force and public service for the organic renewal of modern cities. For Hangzhou, one of the seven ancient capitals of China, —— Hangzhou is the first national historical and cultural city, the city has more than 1,000 cultural protection units (points), more than 80 museums at all levels, there are three world cultural heritage —— West Lake, the Grand Canal and Liangzhu ancient City, the number of heritage ranks the second in the country…
Hangzhou’s achievements in Hangzhou’s cultural heritage protection are obvious to all, and it has won national awards and appreciation and affirmation from experts and scholars from all walks of life for many times. In the past ten years, the Cultural Relics Department of the Municipal Bureau of Landscape and Cultural Relics has closely followed the “city temperament”, built a museum city with high quality, carried out a series of activities to “make cultural relics come alive”, integrated the Internet gene of the city into the “public cultural services”, and created a “Hangzhou model” of public cultural services on the road of common prosperity with high quality.

“The three museums of China Knife and Sword, fan and umbrella Museum are closely connected, designing a lot of interesting activities for children, especially the living handicraft exhibition area, which can have a more intuitive understanding of the handicraft treasures of Hangzhou.”Li Xiaomeng, who lives by the Gongchen Bridge, will take her children to the Hangzhou Arts and Crafts Museum on weekends.
In today’s Hangzhou, the characteristic museum has become a unique landscape of the city, and the weaving of visitors is like a vivid footnote of the city’s profound cultural heritage. According to statistics, in the past ten years, the city’s museums have received nearly 100 million tourists and launched more than 1,600 temporary exhibitions. Going to museums during holidays has become an important part of citizens’ cultural leisure.
Looking back at the development achievements of Hangzhou museum industry in the past ten years, the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Park Culture Bureau regrets a lot. ” In the past ten years, it can be said that a great upgrade has taken place in the ‘quality’ and ‘quantity’ of museum infrastructure.”

Statistics, the number of movable cultural relics in the city reached 360,000 pieces (sets), and a large number of particularly precious cultural relics have been found. For immovable cultural relics, we adhere to the “general survey and protection”. In the past decade, the municipal and district finance have invested about 1.1 billion yuan and completed the repair of more than 2,500 historical buildings, among which Jiande Xinye Village is listed as the only demonstration site for the protection and utilization of ancient villages in the province by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. Such persistence and dedication also made Hangzhou awarded “the first National Advanced Collective of movable Cultural Relics Survey” and “the Advanced Collective of National Cultural Relics System”.
After ten years of craftsmanship, Hangzhou has opened more than 10 museums newly (renovated), 4 national museums, 4 No.2 and 1 No.3; Many exhibitions have won national awards such as “National Top Ten Exhibition Promotion Award”, “National Top Ten Exhibition Promotion Award” and other national awards.
“These fine museums and exhibitions have not only become the name cards showing the achievements of Hangzhou’s cultural relics protection, but also become the profound cultural memory of Hangzhou people in the new era.”The person in charge said.

In addition, the Desheng Palace project of the Southern Song Museum is also being accelerated, and soon the ruins of the Southern Song Palace will be unveiled.
