A museum featuring ancient Chinese sacrificial music will soon be set up in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.

The museum is built on the basis of a place formerly for staging dance and music for royal rituals. It was first built in the early 15th century and operated till the early 20th century. Then it was damaged during times of war.

The place is one of five major buildings at the Temple of Heaven, which was given world heritage listing by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)in 1998.
