Musée Hoangho Paiho

The Musée Hoangho Paiho (Chinese: 黄河白河博物馆; pinyin: Huang He Bai He Bowuguan) was a museum of natural history and fossils founded by the French Jesuit Émile Licent (1876–1952) in Tianjin, China, in 1914.

[1] From 1914, under the sponsorship of the Jesuits in Tianjin, Émile Licent collected a large number of specimens and fossils of geology, rocks and minerals, paleontology, flora and fauna, etc.

1922, with the support of the Church and the French Concession in Tianjin, Émile Licent built a special building for the Musée Hoangho Paiho Museum on the land adjacent to the Tsin Ku University, which was founded by the Jesuits in China.

The institute hired a number of foreign experts to work, such as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and filled the gaps in the field of paleontology in northern China, centered on the Yellow River and Haihe River Basin, and many of the publications and writings were included in the world's database of zoological, botanical, and paleontological literature, which is still an important basis for examining the early scientific records of the various disciplines of biology in northern China.

On October 7, 2019, the former site of Musée Hoangho Paiho was upgraded to the eighth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
