Beijing Stone Carving Art Museum is located at No. 24 Wuta Temple Village, Baishiqiao, Xizhimenwai, Haidian District. It is the first thematic museum to display stone carvings in Beijing. It is built with the original Wuta Temple as the center. It was planned in 1982 and officially established in 1987. The museum covers an area of ​​20,000 square meters. The museum was built on the site of Zhenjue Temple built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty (1403-1424 AD). Zhenjue Temple, commonly known as Wuta Temple, was built by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty because he received the five golden Buddhas and the Vajra Throne Pagoda pattern contributed by an Indian Buddhist. The Vajra Throne Pagoda was built according to the pattern, and the tower body is inlaid with finely carved stone carvings with very rich content. There are 1,561 seated statues of the Five Buddhas, as well as figures such as Bodhisattvas and Arhats and the mounts of the Five Buddhas, lions, peacocks, garudas, elephants, horses and other animal shapes. Most of the buildings in the temple were destroyed by fire in the late Qing Dynasty, and only the Vajra Throne survived. Since then, people have only called it the Five Pagodas Temple. The museum is centered on the Vajra Throne, and there are 8 display areas on its east, north and west sides classified by the content of the stone carvings, forming a display form of "all stars worshiping the moon".
