Museums of Nanjing University

Nanjing University, one of China’s key comprehensive universities under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Education, dates from 1902 when it was known as Sanjiang Normal School. During the following decades, it evolved as Liangjiang Normal School, Nanjing Higher Normal School, National Southeast University, the Fourth Zhongshan University, and National Central University. On August 8, 1949, National Central University was renamed National Nanjing University.

 

Fu Baoshi Memorial

As one of China’s great artists, Fu Baoshi created the bulk of his best work upon moving to Nanjing in 1963. His former residence where he also taught many talented artists is now a memorial that is architecturally reminiscent of the Republican era (1912-1949) when Nanjing was last capital of China, a period at present enjoying a resurgence in popularity.
