Guangdong Revolutionary History Museum

The Guangdong Revolutionary History Museum is a thematic museum presenting Guangdong's revolutionary history over the past century.

The premises of the present museum housed the former Guangdong Consultative Council in the late Qing Dynasty; they were also an important revolutionary site during the Great Revolution Period.

In 1957, the Guangzhou Municipal People's Committee made the decision to build the Guangdong Revolutionary History Museum on this site. The museum's permanent exhibition aims to illustrate the history of Guangdong people's revolutionary struggle over the past century from the outbreak of the Opium War to the founding of the People's Republic of China. In order to give a full presentation of the evolution of Guangzhou's modern history, in July 1996, the Guangzhou Modern History Museum was established on the premises of the Guangdong Revolutionary History Museum, with the two museums housed under the same roof. The Guangzhou Modern History Museum focuses on presenting the historical conditions of Guangzhou between 1840 and 1949 in various aspects, including politics, economy, health, education, culture, and folk customs.
