The Capital Museum, located in the Confucius Temple, was prepared in 1953 and formally opened in 1981.
As a major cultural construction project in Beijing in the "10th Five-Year Plan", the new complex of the Capital Museum, approved by the Beijing Municipal Government in 1999, further approved by the State Council after being submitted by the National Development and Reform Commission in 2001, commenced its construction in December 2001.
The new Capital Museum had the trial operation in December 2005 and was officially opened on May 18, 2006. With its magnificent architecture, abundant exhibitions, advanced technology and complete functions, the Capital Museum contributes to Beijing's standing as a famous historical and cultural city, a cultural centre and an international metropolis and ranks among the first class museums both at home and abroad and is regarded as one of the first "State First-class Museums" in 2008.
