Development history

Luoyang Museum was built in May 1958. The original site is located in Guanlin, Luonan, Luoyang. It is one of the earliest municipal museums since the founding of new China. At that time, due to financial constraints, the Guanlin temple was tentatively designated as the site of the museum. Luoyang cultural relics management committee and the museum jointly worked, with a staff of 14. The main hall and wing of the Guanlin temple were designated as exhibition halls.

During the "three-year difficult period" in the early 1960s, the work of museums was affected. During the "Cultural Revolution", the normal work of museums was basically at a standstill due to the storm of "breaking the four old" and internal disputes. In 1969, the museum staff went to the countryside for further education, and a PLA department took over the Guanlin temple. After returning, the museum staff stayed in Xiguan temporarily, and their business was stagnant.

In 1972, the Museum held the exhibition of cultural relics unearthed in Luoyang during the Cultural Revolution by borrowing a simple flower shed in Wangcheng Park, which became the second temporary site of Luoyang Museum. In 1972, the vagrant situation took a turn. Luoyang Municipal Government approved the construction of the new exhibition building of the museum in the case of financial difficulties. The exhibition building was designed by Li Chuanze of Luoyang Design Institute and constructed by stages. In May 1974, the first phase of zhanlou project was completed and put into use. Luoyang Museum was founded in 1958. After eight years of temple exhibition and three years of shed exhibition, it finally has an exhibition building, realizing a historic leap forward.

In 1973, Luoyang Museum moved to Zhongzhou Road. The museum exhibition building is a national building with glazed tiles. It was officially opened on May 1, 1974.

In October 1974, the museum was completed and moved here. It has a total area of 35 mu, an exhibition building area of 2800 square meters, a cultural relics warehouse of 3141 square meters and a comprehensive office building of 1550 square meters. There are nearly 400000 cultural relics in the collection, and about 35000 cultural relics can be displayed.

In 1975, Luoyang Museum was responsible for the restoration of Baima temple and opened to the public. Baima temple has become a subordinate unit of the museum.

At the end of 2007, the new Luoyang Museum started construction, covering an area of 300 mu, with a construction area of 62000 square meters and a total investment of 400 million yuan. The new building is composed of the main building and the attached building, which was completed in February 2009.

In May 2008, Luoyang Museum was named one of the first batch of national first-class museums.

In April 2009, China 2009 World Philatelic Exhibition was held.

In October 2009, the Luoyang Summit Forum on the protection of large sites was successfully held. On April 1, 2011, the new Luoyang Museum opened and opened to the public.

In October 2018, it was rated as the national research and practice education base for primary and secondary school students.

building structure

Main building

Luoyang Museum is located on the central axis of the city, adjacent to the beautiful Luopu Park in the north and the Sui and Tang Dynasty ruins botanical garden in the south. The design concept of "Ding Li Tian" is adopted. The overall architectural appearance is big Ding shape. The asymmetric spatial structure is used as the support. The garden technique is used for reference. The courtyard and lighting patio are set at the turning position of the square streamline to achieve a dynamic balance of spatial layout. On the outside, a large-scale undulating terrain is constructed. On the inside, a series of space connections are constructed to imply the conceptual theme of "void". Through the reappearance of 13 archaeological sites with open roofs, the profound connotation of Luoyang, a thousand year old ancient capital, is deeply revealed, integrating the site characteristics and architectural concepts.

It fully embodies the historical connotation and cultural characteristics of Luoyang's thirteen Dynasties ancient capital in five aspects: capital culture, site culture, Heluo culture, garden culture and geographical victory.

The whole building is composed of the main building and the annex building, 230 meters long and 140 meters wide.

The design of Luoyang Museum has fully absorbed the garden layout techniques in the spatial layout, and combined with the exhibition flow direction, it has set up inner gardens and lighting patios with different positions, sizes and characteristics, so that visitors can always keep close contact with nature during the visit.

Museum top

The roof of Luoyang Museum is divided into 13 parts according to functions, symbolizing the 13 dynasties when Luoyang was the capital. The undulating roof reproduces the magnificent atmosphere of Luoyang as a capital in the history. Irregular lighting holes are set on the roof, and the topological combination of the roof abstractly represents the image of Hetu Luoshu. A green square with the theme of "Hetu Luoshu" is designed in the south of the museum.

Museum annex

The shape of the attached building adopts the landscape technique, which solves the relationship between the main body and the foil, and vividly represents the geographical characteristics of Luoyang City site selection with Mangshan and yique in the south.
