About

Erlitou Site Museum of the Xia Capital is a museum that mainly displays the archaeological artefacts of the Erlitou culture, a Chinese Bronze Age culture that Chinese researchers believe to be the capital of the quasi-historical Xia dynasty. The museum is located in Sijiaolou village of Yanshi District, Luoyang City, Henan Province, about 300 meters away from the Erlitou Ruins Reserve in the north, and south of the Gucheng Expressway. The museum is co-built and managed by the Luoyang Municipal Government and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Institute of Archaeology.
