Established in 1956, Anhui Museum is a grade-one national museum, a 4A tourist spot, a national patriotism education base and a provincial civilized unit of “Three Excellencies”. It boasts a collection of 200,000 pieces of cultural relics, with distinct local features. Representative of them are the bronze wares of the Xia and Shang dynasties, the four treasures of the study, Xin’an paintings and works of calligraphy, the ancient Huizhou documents, the three types of carvings of Huizhou and Pan Yuliang’s works of art. “The Huizhou ancient Architecture Exhibition” ranks among “the National Top Ten Exhibitions of Treasures.”
Anhui Museum has a glorious history. The older generation of the Party and state leaders such as Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Deng Xiaoping, Ye jianying, Chen Yi and Peng Dehuai all came to inspect the museum at different times. When inspecting the museum on September 17, 1958, Chairman Mao Zedong made this instruction: “The major city of a Province should have such a museum. It is very important for people to be aware of their own history and creativity”. His instruction has exerted influence over the construction and development of all the museums across the country. The name of Anhui Museum inscribed by Chen Yi during his inspection of Anhui Province is still in use today.
Thanks to the care and support of the Anhui provincial Party committee and government, the old buildings of Anhui Museum have been preserved and its main body has been incorporated into the provincial heritage list. The new museum, the construction of which started in 2008, will be open to the public later in 2010.

安徽省博物馆建成于1956年，是国家一级博物馆，国家4A级旅游景区，全国爱国主义教育基地，安徽省直“三优”文明单位。馆藏文物近20余万件（套），具有鲜明的地方特色，商周青铜器、文房四宝、新安书画、徽州文书、徽州三雕和潘玉良作品等颇具代表性。《徽州古建筑陈列》被评为第七届“全国十大精品陈列”。
安徽省博物馆有着光荣的历史，毛泽东、周恩来、刘少奇、朱德、邓小平、叶剑英、陈毅、彭德怀等老一辈党和国家领导人先后来馆视察。1958年9月17日，毛泽东主席在视察安徽省博物馆时发出这样指示：“一个省的主要城市，都应该有这样的博物馆，人民认识自己的历史和创造的力量是一件很要紧的事”，影响了全国博物馆的建设和发展。陈毅同志在视察时亲笔题写了安徽省博物馆馆名，至今沿用。
在安徽省委、省政府的关心和支持下，安徽省博物馆老馆得以保留，主体建筑被纳入省级文物保护单位；新馆2008年3月开工建设，2010年底对外开放。
