In 1934, American missionary John Fawkesson donated thousands of precious cultural relics to Jinling University (the predecessor of Nanjing University), and used it to build the Jinling University Antiquities Exhibition Hall, which opened the prelude to Nanda's cultural relic collection. Because of his keen interest in ancient Chinese cultural relics, Fokison collected a considerable number of cultural relics through various channels, including Shang and Zhou bronze wares, oracle bones, ancient paintings, and ancient ceramics.

In addition to Fu Kaisen, many of NTU's predecessors also devoted a lot of effort to the collection of NTU cultural relics. As early as the 1920s and 1930s, Nanjing University's predecessor, the Central University's School of Literature and the Department of History, began to collect the bones of Yin Ruins, and the Central University Library also collected cultural relics such as Jinshi Tuoben and celebrity calligraphy. Since then, Shang Chengyi, Hu Xiaoshi, Li Xiaoyuan, Liu Mingshu, Xu Yitang, and others have tried their best to rescue and collect all kinds of cultural relics in the war-torn times or in the economically difficult times. Today, more than 9,000 precious cultural relics are lying quietly in the NTU Archaeological and Art Museum.
