Historical Museum, Shenyang, Liaoning, China.

---

The Museum derives its name from the Mukden Incident of September 18th, 1931. On that date, Japanese Army personnel staged a bombing close to a railway line the Japanese owned South Manchuria Railway in Mukden, now Shenyang. The bombing, blamed on Chinese patriots, was used as a pretext for Japanese military action which subsequently developed into a full-scale annexation of Manchuria. The Mukden Incident, the period of Japanese occupation of Manchuria, responses of the League of Nations and subsequent Chinese victory are the subject matter of the exhibition, the narrative told through tableaux, artifacts, period photographs and paintings.
