Museum's bid to retain local history

JIADING Museum is sweeping the district in search of cultural relics in a bid to register and protect them as soon as possible.

Jiading District has drafted a regulation for the management, protection and repair of its irremovable cultural relics.

Jiading Museum has enormously expanded its collection in recent years by transfer, acquisition or donation. According to the third five-year national archaeological survey begun in 2007, Jiading District registered more than 100 new cultural relic sites. So far, the district boasts 205 cultural relic sites in total.

A batch of cultural relics donated by a collector surnamed Zhao will be displayed at the Jiading New Museum when it is completed.

Jiading Museum welcomes donation of historical pieces all year round, including paintings and calligraphy, pottery and porcelain, bronze, ancient coins, bamboo carving artworks, notes and letters from celebrities. Collectors are particularly encouraged to donate folk garments, architecture blueprints and components, and photos.

Those residents who donate cultural relics without compensation will be honored with a certificate written by local calligraphers. The museum also offers free identification services. Residents can call 5991-8372 with any relic inquiries.
