The China National Archives of Publication and Culture is a national cultural institution with a mission to preserve traditional Chinese culture, bolster cultural confidence, project the cultural image of a world power, and facilitate cultural exchange. It has headquarters in Beijing and additional branches in Xi'an, Hangzhou, and Guangzhou.
The Guangzhou Branch of the China National Archives of Publication and Culture is dedicated to exploring the multifaceted aspects of Chinese culture, encompassing its rich history, diverse traditions, and technological advancements. It highlights that the cultural seeds should be nurtured in the country's renowned mountains and passed down to future generations. The museum integrates Chinese traditions with the unique characteristics of Lingnan (the southern region of China), to create a distinctive landscape architectural pattern. The archives, primarily from Guangdong and neighboring provinces, encompass approximately 2.56 million items, with the objective of establishing a world-class platform for showcasing Chinese culture.
The project was awarded the 2022-2023 China Construction Engineering Luban Prize.
