Located on the coast of Hao River in the southeast of nantong ancient City, Nantong Museum was founded in 1905 by Zhang Jian, a famous patriotic industrialist and the first scholar of the late Qing Dynasty. It is the earliest public museum in China.

The rich cultural atmosphere of the integration of museum and garden and the combination of Chinese and Western culture reflects Zhang Jian's unique concept of museum.

Adhering to the principle of "Setting Up Zhang Jian as the current school to teach, and knowing more about birds, beasts and trees", the museum has been exhibiting basic exhibitions of nantong regional culture, natural resources, garden history, Zhang Jian's achievements, etc., and has held more than 20 temporary exhibitions every year. At the same time, I took the initiative to integrate into the society. I visited schools, military units, enterprises, communities and hospitals through science popularization exhibition and "Knowing Nantong · Loving Hometown" tour. It cooperates with the Palace Museum, The Swiss Puli Art Museum and other domestic and foreign museums, and with the Nanjing University of the Arts and other universities to seek for depth and leapfrog development.

Today's museum, with its pleasant environment and quality service, reflects Zhang Jian's "indifference to busy affairs".
