历史背景

Founded in 1927 by General Feng Yuxiang, the museum is one of the oldest in China. It moved from Kaifeng to Zhengzhou in 1961 and reopened in its current building in 1999. During the Japanese invasion in 1937, key relics were moved to Chongqing; later, in 1948, many artifacts were shipped to Taiwan, forming part of the National Museum of History in Taipei.
