Located in the Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area of Nanning, this museum is a cultural temple with a core focus on Zhuang and other minority ethnic cultures of Guangxi. The building’s exterior blends Zhuang rural architecture with modern art design, and the blue-tiled white walls flow with the poetry of mountains and rivers. Entering the museum feels like traveling through a thousand years of time. The museum houses over 2000 artifacts, with the intricate patterns of the copper drums revealing the ancestral worship totem, and the shimmering silver jewelry embodies the aesthetic code of the nation. The intricate patterns of the woven carpets weave the rhythm of the folk songs. The core exhibition area, “Zhuang Culture Long Corridor,” recreates ethnic life scenes through immersive scenes. A large copper drum with a diameter exceeding two meters is displayed on the Copper Drum Square, with the patterns of the drum face and lightning patterns reflecting each other, telling the story of “drum sound shaking the sky” during the grand ceremonies. In the non-material heritage workshop, silversmiths are forging silver jewelry with traditional hammering techniques, and the “twelve silver inlaid” craftsmanship flows through their fingertips. The special exhibition “Nong Zhi Gao [Northern Song Rebel Leader]” artifact group restores the heroic epic of the Zhuang hero resisting oppression.
