“北京人”故鄉——週口店遺址博物館
週口店遺址是北京市7處世界文化遺産之一。 1987年，被聯合國教科文組織列入世界文化遺産名錄。
Zhoukoudian site is one of the seven world cultural heritages in Beijing. In 1987, Zhoukoudian site was listed in the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO.
作為首批世界文化遺産，週口店遺址是唯一保存了縱貫70萬年的史前人類活動遺址，是我國古人類學、舊石器時代考古學和第四紀地質學等多學科綜合研究基地。
As one of the first sites of world cultural heritage, Zhoukoudian is the only prehistoric human site that has been preserved for 700,000 years. It is a comprehensive research base of China's Paleoanthropology, Paleolithic archaeology, Quaternary Geology and other disciplines.
自1927年進行大規模發掘以來，共發現不同時期的各類化石和文化遺物地點27處，發掘出土代表40多個“北京人”的化石遺骸，10多萬件石器，上百種動物化石及大量的用火遺跡等。1929年，史前考古學、古生物學家裴文中先生在週口店遺址發現了第一個“北京人”頭蓋骨化石。

隨著博物館事業的發展，2014年，週口店遺址博物館新館竣工並向公眾開放。其粗礪建築形式源於週口店遺址重要文化元素——石器。新館集研究、收藏、展覽、展示、科普教育、文化交流於一體。
