History

[edit]

The history of Yanbian Museum began on April 19, 1960 when the Preparatory Office of Yanbian Museum was established to protect and manage Yanbian cultural relics. During the Cultural Revolution, the Preparatory Office was abolished and turned into an exhibition hall. After the end of the Cultural Revolution the Yanbian museum business was restored, and in January 1973 the Yanbian Museum was formally established.[5][2]

In April 1982, the three-story Yanbian Museum premises was completed. It covered 12,350 square meters. The following year, the Yanbian Museum of Korean Folklore was approved, forming a set of two brands with the Yanbian Museum.

In 2002, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, a new Yanbian Museum building was constructed on the west side of Jindalai Plaza.

In 2007, after the Yanbian Korean Revolutionary Memorial Museum was approved for establishment, the Yanbian Museum became a set of three brands with one staff.[5][2]

In 2009, Yanbian Museum was listed in the National Cultural Heritage Administration as a national second-class comprehensive museum.[1][3] In order to meet the 60th anniversary of the establishment of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, the Yanbian Museum's new hall began construction on June 10, 2010 at Changbaishan West Road, Yanji City.[6] In September 2012, the new hall of the Yanbian Museum was opened.[2] In 2014, the Yanbian Museum was selected as a national 4A-level tourist attraction.[1][3]
