It was built in the fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1577), and was built by Empress Dowager Li, the mother of Emperor Wanli, on the old site of Juse Temple, mainly for the collection of scriptures. In 1985, it was opened as: Beijing Art Museum. From south to north along Wanshou Temple Middle Road, there are Shanmen, Heavenly King Hall, Bell and Drum Tower, Daxiong Treasure Hall, Wanshou Pavilion, Dazentang, Guanyin Hall, Wuliangshou Buddha Hall, and Wanfo Building.
