The China Three Gorges Museum in Chongqing, which opened in 2005, serves as a major cultural institution that incorporated the former Chongqing Municipal Museum.

The museum primarily displays a vast collection of historical and cultural artifacts, many of which were salvaged from areas that were submerged by the creation of the Three Gorges reservoir.1
