The logo of Henan Museum is an abstract summary of its main building. The upper part is an upturned bucket to collect "nectar", and the lower part is an overturned bucket to receive "earth energy". The area where the upper and lower triangles overlap is a dot, which also means "a round sky and a round place". The main shape is like an hourglass. The hourglass is a timekeeping tool. The falling hourglass represents the passage of time. History is the passing time, and the museum is the place to witness history. It is said that the architectural design of the Henan Museum was inspired by the ancient observatory in Dengfeng, Henan.
