Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum Xiannongtan Temple

Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum 北京古建筑博物馆

Located in Xiannong Temple of Xuanwu District, Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum is China's first themed museum that focuses on the collection, study and exhibition of architecture.

The museum displays the history of ancient Chinese architecture. Exhibits are divided into two parts–ancient architectures and exhibits on ancient architecture art.

The first part consists of the ancient architecture complex of Xiannongtan. The building, also named Mountains and Rivers Shrine, was the place for the Ming and Qing emperors to offer sacrifices to such deities as Xiannong, Taisui, and the Gods of mountains and rivers.

It was built in 1420, or the 18th year of Emperor Yongle’s reign in the Ming Dynasty, when the emperor moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. Most of the remaining buildings in the complex were built in 1522, or the 1st year of Emperor Jiajing’s reign in the Ming Dynasty.

The second part shows in the evolution of ancient Chinese architecture with exhibits in Taisui and Yu Hall.

The museum keeps a model of the old city of Beijing (the largest sand table model in China), the covert ceiling in Longfu Temple in Beijing (the only survival of its kind), and a model of Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest in Temple of Heaven. The museum shows the great creativity of ancient Chinese architecture.
Address: No. 21 Dongjing Road, Xuanwu District, Beijing

北京古建筑博物馆位于宣武区仙农寺，是中国第一个以建筑的收藏，研究和展览为主题的主题博物馆。

这是一个展示中国古代建筑历史的主题博物馆。它的展品分为两部分 - 古代建筑和古代建筑艺术展品。

我国第一座建筑专题博物馆：北京古代建筑博物馆

Used to seeing the tall buildings, the traffic is full of people, and there is more awe for the ingenuity of ancient Chinese traditional architecture. You may linger in the palace pavilion of the Forbidden City, the wall of the River River, and the solemn splendor of the precious roof of the Temple of Heaven, but there is little knowledge of the Xiannongtan of the Chinese ancient architecture art. But when you come to the sainted altar, you will not be disappointed! Because here is a quiet place, into the ear of the sound of birds, the ancient trees lush, the beauty of ancient buildings bloom quietly, the ancient people's simple natural view of harmony!
