Henan Provincial Museum (Henan Sheng Bowuguan) offers seven excellent permanent exhibits, a great opportunity to take in artifacts from Chinese culture and history dating back thousands of years.

The exhibits are housed in an enormous glass pyramid situated at the end of Jingqi Lu. Its modern facilities and the technology used for many of the exhibits are first rate. Of particular interest are the Bronze Ware Hall and the Jade Ware Hall. An Audio Tour is available in Chinese, Japanese and English and interactive video shows. The museum also organizes regular exchange programs with foreign and domestic museums and some wonderful temporary exhibits make their way here.

There is also an exhibition here on the February 7th revolt in 1923, a strike by workers building the railway from Wuhan to Beijing that was brutally suppressed.
