Guangxi Museum of Nationalities is located in Qingxiu District, adjacent to the Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area. There are a full range of bronze drums on display here, including the world's largest bronze drum "Lei Wen Da Bronze Drum". There is also an exhibition of colorful and eight osmanthus here, where you can see all kinds of ethnic costumes and daily necessities, showing the characteristics of each ethnic group in Guangxi.
Guangxi Museum of Nationalities is relatively far from the city center, but if you plan to visit Qingxiu Mountain, you might as well spend a day together. Minbo Museum is one of the most popular museums in Nanning. After visiting Qingxiu Mountain in the morning, you can visit the Ethnic Museum. It's free here, you can enter with your ID card, and you can't bring a lighter.
The Minbo is divided into three floors and five exhibition areas. The exhibition hall actually starts from the second floor, and the first floor is mainly the tourist service center, package delivery office and office area. When you step into the second floor, you can see one of the key points of Minbo——Bronze Drum Culture Exhibition Hall, which has the largest number and most complete types of bronze drum displays in the world. The most shocking thing in the exhibition hall is the large Leiwen bronze drum with a diameter of 165 centimeters (No. 101 in the collection), which is the largest bronze drum ever discovered in the world. In addition, the souvenir shop and library are also on the second floor.
The colorful eight osmanthus exhibition is another key exhibition of Minbo, occupying the entire third floor, including the central colorful eight osmanthus preface hall, the left and right harmonious movement exhibition halls, the ingenuity and charm exhibition hall, the homeland exhibition hall and the neon clothes and feather clothes exhibition hall. The so-called "eight osmanthus" refers to Guangxi. The colorful eight osmanthus exhibition has the most complete physical display of 12 ethnic groups (including the Han) in Guangxi, covering clothing, life, festivals, handicrafts and other aspects.
In addition, there is an open-air exhibition hall outside the venue. There are some miniature ethnic buildings, which are also very interesting and suitable for taking pictures. Some local wedding photography shops in Nanning will come here to take wedding photos.
