Liaoning Provincial Museum (abbreviated as "Liaoning Museum") is the first museum established in New China. Its predecessor was the Northeast Museum established on July 7, 1949, and was renamed Liaoning Provincial Museum in 1959. Liaoning Museum is most distinctive for its fine paintings and calligraphy from the Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, brocade embroidery from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, jades from the Hongshan Culture, bronzes from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and ceramics from the Liao Dynasty. There are 13 copper reliefs in the lobby of the new Liaoning Museum, showing the development history of Liaohe culture. The building integrates traditional culture and modern design and won the Lu Ban Award.
