History

[edit]

In July 2005, a series of ceremonies were held in China to commemorate the 600th anniversary of the Ming treasure voyages.[5] As part of the commemoration, the Chinese State Council approved the plan for constructing a national-level maritime museum in Shanghai. The preparation and construction of the museum was jointly organized by the Ministry of Transport and Shanghai Municipal People's Government.[6] Construction started in January 2006 and finished in September 2009.[7] The museum was officially opened to the public on 5 July 2010.[1]
