International Friendship Museum

The International Friendship Museum is a special museum for collecting, protecting, researching and displaying diplomatic gifts given by Party and state leaders in New China's foreign exchanges. It is subordinate to the State Administration of cultural relics.

Introduction to the library

In January 1981, the Preparatory Office of the International Friendship Museum was established. In December 1991, the International Friendship Museum was officially established as one of the national museums directly under the State Administration of cultural relics.

In September 1982, our museum provided exhibition services to the community for the first time. Since 1983, exhibitions have been held in Zhongcui palace and Jingyang palace of the Forbidden City, Tianwang Hall of Beihai Park, dongchaofang of Duanmen, etc. Among them, the exhibition of international friendship treasures, which was opened in September 1984, was listed as a gift for the 35th anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic of China. Since 1985, our museum has expanded its publicity work to all parts of the country and held roving exhibitions in other places. In September 1990, as one of the key cultural projects of the 11th Asian Games, the exhibition of international precious gifts was opened to the public in the Museum of Chinese revolution. In December 2001, in order to commemorate the 20th anniversary of our museum, our Museum held the "China's diplomatic gifts exhibition" in Beijing China Millennium Monument. In April of the next year, after further enrichment, the exhibition went to Hong Kong to commemorate the fifth anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China. In August 2004, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Comrade Deng Xiaoping's birth, our Museum held the "Deng Xiaoping diplomatic gift Exhibition" in Beijing. Since the establishment of the International Friendship Museum, the office of Jiyi has been moved to the present site of the biblical building of Berlin Temple in September 1992. In October 2002, with the care and support of the leadership of the State Council and the State Administration of cultural relics, a modern collection warehouse of nearly 3500 square meters was built, which greatly improved the storage conditions of the collection.

In December 1991, it was officially established as one of the national museums directly under the State Administration of cultural relics.

Featured Exhibition

Over the years, the International Friendship Museum has been responsible for the investigation, collection, preservation and research of national important international gifts. It has collected nearly 20000 gifts from more than 170 countries and regions in the world, which are roughly divided into more than 30 categories and hundreds of varieties. These gifts have important political significance and important historical value. They are precious cultural relics of modern friendly exchanges between China and foreign countries. They are closely related to important events and important figures. They have high artistic value and fully reflect the colorful cultural charm and artistic style of all nationalities in the world. They also have high economic value and collection value. Some precious fossils and fossils are valuable Animal and plant specimens are rare treasures. Most of the collections in the International Friendship Museum have dual characteristics, either as diplomatic gifts, foreign artworks and handicrafts, or as gifts and precious fossil specimens. This duality determines the special attributes of the International Friendship Museum, which constitutes a distinctive feature and style different from other museums.

For more than 20 years, based on its collection advantages, through various exhibitions and exhibitions, the International Friendship Museum has demonstrated from one side the brilliant achievements made in foreign exchanges since the founding of new China, the precious friendship between the Chinese people and the people of other countries in the world, the great contributions made by our party and state leaders to China's diplomatic cause, and their honesty, self-discipline and self-discipline The noble manner of serving the public makes the audience receive vivid education of patriotism and revolutionary tradition.

The International Friendship Museum, while performing its propaganda and education functions, has overcome the difficulty of not having a fixed exhibition hall. In more than 20 years, in addition to holding five basic exhibitions in Beijing, it has also held more than 100 roving exhibitions of various forms in nearly 30 provinces, cities, autonomous regions and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, with a total audience of more than 10 million. The large number of exhibitions and the wide area of radiation are rare, forming a major feature of the International Friendship Museum itself.

In 2005, on the basis of summing up many years of work experience, the International Friendship Museum seriously planned and studied and launched the publicity plan of "national ceremony in China". The plan is to further implement the requirements of "Three Closeness", serve the construction of a harmonious society, let the national ceremony exhibition go all over the country, let the audience accept the education of patriotism and revolutionary tradition, promote cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, and enhance international friendship. At the same time, it also enables the audience to have close contact with world art treasures, perceive the essence of world culture, stimulate the creativity of the audience, and enhance people's sense of responsibility and mission to build a harmonious society.

Since April 2005, the first series of exhibitions of "Guoli Zhongyuan travel" has been on display in some cities of Henan Province. In September, a series of exhibitions of "national rites in Xinjiang" began. In November, a series of exhibitions of "Guoli's trip to south Guangdong" began. At the same time, the International Friendship Museum is also planning a series of exhibitions of "Guoli old district tour", striving to let people in old districts enjoy Guoli exhibition as soon as possible.

Over the years, the International Friendship Museum has published Mao Zedong and his international friends, Liu Shaoqi and his international friends, Zhou Enlai and his international friends, Deng Xiaoping and his international friends, our friends all over the world, the gathering of national rites, the Supreme National rites, the treasures of the world, the story of national rites, the trip of national rites to China, the art of Thai national rites and the East Asian culture In addition, the museum and magazine "China International Friendship" have expanded their publicity and influence.
