The master repository of Qilu civilization and a national first-class museum. Star exhibits: the Longshan culture eggshell black pottery cup (walls thin as eggshell), the bamboo slips from the Yinqueshan Han tombs (Sunzi's The Art of War and Sun Bin's The Art of War unearthed from the same tomb), and the nine-tasseled crown of Ming Prince Lu Huangwang. Formerly the Shandong Provincial Museum founded in 1954, it opened its new building in 2010. Through the complete sequence of Dawenkou–Longshan–Shang and Zhou bronzes–Han stone reliefs, it explains the Haidai civilization in depth, with English-language guides available, welcoming for East Asian and Western visitors.
