Exhibits
The complex features more than two million historical and cultural artefacts, mainly from the founder, Dr. Fan Jianchuan’s personal collection, and has been hailed by the Los Angeles Times as an example of “the increasing openness about the way recent history is viewed in China.” The Jianchuan Museum Cluster, founded by Dr. Jianchuan Fan, is located in Anren, a national-class historical and cultural town in Chengdu, Sichuan. With a total footage of 500 acres (2.0 km2), the museum cluster is made up of 15 museums. It has a rich repository of over 8 million pieces of artifacts, with 121 of them classified as Class-One National Treasures. This is the largest museum cluster in China.
The museums are organized by four major themes: Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945), the ‘Red era’, the Wenchuan Earthquake, and Folklore & Culture.
