The Jinsha Relics Museum is located at the Jinsha Archeological Site in northwestern Chengdu.

The museum grounds cover 300,000 square meters with a total building area of approximately 35,000 square meters. As a theme park-style museum, it seeks to preserve, provide information about and display the Jinsha relics and other archaeological finds. There are a large number of ivory, gold and jade pieces on show.

The Jinsha Relics were the first major archaeological discovery in China in the new millennium and have been granted national protection status. They are crucial artifacts in the study of ancient Sichuan.
