Lushun Museum, the oldest museum in Northeast China, is located in Lushunkou district of Dalian city in Liaoning province. It was founded by Japanese invaders in 1917, later managed by the Soviet Union, and finally taken back by the Chinese government in 1951.
The museum is home to more than 60,000 cultural relics, including more than 200 Class A heritages under national protection. With a hundred years of history, it not only records the development of Dalian city, but also reflects the modern history of China.
