Metro Line 2For the royal tomb, walk from Exit E at Yuexiu Park station. The palace site is on Zhongshan 4th Road; these are two separate locations.The Nanyue Kingdom lies at the heart of the museum's story. During the turmoil between the Qin and Han dynasties, Zhao Tuo established a kingdom in Lingnan with its center at Panyu, in present-day Guangzhou. The city became an early regional center of politics, commerce and culture.
Excavated in the 1980s, the royal tomb yielded a jade burial suit, other jade objects, precious metals and bronzes. The tomb and its contents reveal connections between Central Plains traditions, local Lingnan culture and overseas exchange.
The museum reaches back beyond Guangzhou's modern commercial identity to its Qin and Han roots. Reading the tomb, archaeological sites and objects together explains the depth and continuity of the city's history.
