"Tianfu Culture", as the cultural symbol of Chengdu city, plays an important role in promoting the rapid development of Chengdu and in constructing a world-renowned cultural city. Museums in the Chengdu area is dedicated to promoting and preserving the spirit of Tianfu Culture through the interpretation of cultural relics, various thematic public education projects and activities, effectively utilizing local cultural resources, exploring cultural values, and revitalizing cultural artifacts. This article focuses on four representative museums in Chengdu: Jinsha Site Museum, Chengdu Museum, Sichuan Museum, and Yongling Museum, to explore the public education role that local museums play in protecting, exhibiting, and disseminating Tianfu Culture, and offers constructive suggestions. The article argues that public education constructs the knowledge system of Tianfu Culture through cultural relics, guiding the audience to develop regional cultural thinking qualities through interpretation, reflection, induction, and exploration, internalizing them into the general cognitive structure of the public. This process helps to inherit the spirit of Tianfu Culture and enhance the city's cultural brand.
