The museum opened in 1961, closed during the Cultural Revolution, and reopened on July 1, 1991, retaining its original name. In May 1998, the museum relocated and expanded, and closed to the public. In 2001, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the new museum was completed, renamed the "Tianjin History Museum of the Chinese Communist Party," and reopened to the public.
