Opium War Museum

The Opium War Museum ()(Alternative name:Humen Lin Zexu Memorial Hall; )is a Chinese museum dedicated to the Lin Zexu and the Opium Wars. The museum is located in Humen Town, Guangdong Province.

History

Built in 1957, with a floor area of about 2,400 square meters, the museum collects historical materials related to Lin Zexu's anti-narcotics policies and the Opium War. It was then renamed to the Opium War Humen People's Anti-British Memorial Hall () in 1972, and then re-designated Humen Lin Zexu Memorial Hall in 1985. The museum manages the old sites of Lin Zexu's Smoke Pond and Humen Fortress, which are considered national relics (along with the museum itself).
