Nanshan Museum is a museum in Shenzhen, China, officially opened to the public on January 31, 2018. It is located at No. 2093, Nanshan Avenue, Nantou Subdistrict, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, and is a regional museum managed by the Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports Bureau of Nanshan District.[1] It cost a total of 200 million RMB to construct.[2]

Nanshan Museum mainly introduces the history of Nanshan District to Shenzhen citizens and tourists, and is also responsible for local historical and cultural research, including the collection and research of unearthed cultural relics in the Nanshan area. The museum covers an area of about 20,000 square meters, with a building area of about 36,000 square meters.[3]

History

Construction began in early 2007 under the name Nanshan Art Expo Museum.[4] The authorities initially planned it as an art exhibition hall and studio focusing on the display and collection of shadow puppetry, comics, and sculptures, with an anticipated completion by the end of 2008.[5] By the end of 2010, the local government decided to rename the still-under-construction Nanshan Art Expo Museum to Nanshan Museum, changing its function to a regional comprehensive museum with an emphasis on local history.[6]

In 2012, the main building structure was completed, and it was originally scheduled to open by the end of 2015.[7] However, due to an undecided interior design plan, construction was halted,[8] causing significant further delays to the opening.

In 2017, the museum was first opened for trial operations as a sub-venue for Shenzhen Design Week.[9] That same year, the museum established its first board of directors, which included Wang Shi, former chairman of Vanke, and Joseph Ting Sun-pao, the first director of the Hong Kong Museum of History.[10]

On January 31, 2018, the museum officially opened to the public.
