Fujian Museum

Set within a cultural park in Fuzhou, this provincial museum surveys the history and maritime heritage of Fujian, long a gateway for Chinese trade and emigration overseas. Its collections include Neolithic pottery, Song-dynasty shipwreck ceramics and objects tracing the tea and porcelain export routes. Galleries also cover the province's distinctive folk crafts and the culture of its coastal communities. The seafaring focus reflects Fujian's importance as a departure point on the ancient maritime silk road.
