As soon as the museum opened, it caused great repercussions. At that time, it was known as a "world-class museum" and enjoyed a high reputation at home and abroad. The name of this museum is Northern Xinjiang Museum. Although it is hidden in Tianjin Foreign Studies University, this museum belongs to Tianjin Natural Museum. The whole museum has three floors, about 2 1 m high and covers an area of almost 300 square meters.
It is said that the founder of this museum is actually a Frenchman. His name is Sang Zhihua and he came to Tianjin in his early years. He lived here for 25 years and established this museum. This museum was named the Northern Xinjiang Museum because the place where Sang Zhihua went has always been the territory of northern China.
Many of the collections in this museum are specimens of animals and plants, which come from the Baihe Valley of the Yellow River. In addition to all kinds of specimens, there are ancient documents about history, humanities and nature, which are extremely precious. Because Sang Zhihua thought that cultural relics collected from all over China could not be plundered and should be preserved where they were found, he did not take them back to France, but left them in the museum.
