The Qi Culture Museum integrates the collection, exhibition, protection and research of cultural relics from the ancient Qi state, one of the most powerful states in China for more than 800 years during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), as well as the Warring States Period (475-221 BC).
As the ancient capital of the state of Qi, Zibo in East China's Shandong province has a long history and a rich culture.
