Sichuan University Museum (Sichuan Daxue Bowuguan)

The Sichuan University Museum has more than 90 years of history to the present day and is one of the earliest museums established in the Southwest region. In 1914, the West China Union University Museum of Antiquity, the predecessor of the museum, began preparations for its establishment. By the 1940s, it had already become a comparatively large scale museum. The present-day museum is subdivided into four floors: Ethnic Groups, Folk Customs, Paintings and Calligraphy, and Rock Carvings and Artifacts Excavated from Sanxingdui. There are also two bridal sedan chairs which are some of the most intactly preserved in the country. If you're fortunate, you might be able to enjoy a shadow puppet play in the Folk Customs building. All the guides here are students of the university.
