History of Xianning Museum
Xianning Museum was founded in 1976, but it has not been opened to the public due to conditions. With the rapid development of social economy and the increasing material and cultural needs of the people, the municipal party committee and the municipal government decided to build a comprehensive museum, which was laid in September 2008, completed on May 23, 20 12 and officially opened to the public free of charge on April 23, 20 13.

Since its establishment, Xianning Museum has always earnestly performed the functions of archaeological research, cultural relics collection protection and publicity and education, participated in large-scale archaeological excavation projects such as the National Three Gorges Project, South-to-North Water Diversion Project, Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway and Wuhan-Guangzhou Expressway, and excavated important sites and tombs such as Chibi Tucheng Site and Kuzhuqiao Kiln Site, Sunguohu Site in Xian 'an and Shaping Han Tomb in Chongyang. It not only saved a lot of ancient cultural heritage, but also increased the collection of cultural relics and collections, and also provided extremely rare first-hand information for the research of various disciplines. Published 3 archaeological excavation reports, and published more than 50 research papers and archaeological excavation briefings in national and provincial academic journals. After the new museum is completed and opened, it will more actively display the long-standing historical and cultural features and unique customs of southeastern Hubei, which will play a very important role in promoting excellent historical culture, enriching people's cultural life and promoting the construction of a strong economic city in southern Hubei. In the new historical period, Xianning Museum, as an important window to display Xianning local culture, the main position of cultural heritage protection, the highlight of tourism culture development and the emerging park of citizens' culture and entertainment, will unswervingly implement the policy of "protection first, rescue first, rational utilization and strengthening management", adhere to the correct management and development direction, effectively establish Scientific Outlook on Development, keep pace with the times, and make every effort to promote Xianning cultural undertakings.
