梅兰芳是名扬海内外的京剧大师，虽说梅兰芳出生在北京，也没在泰州生活过，但却与泰州有着不解之缘，梅兰芳爷爷出生在泰州，并在泰州生活了 6年，之后离开泰州，赴北京学艺，因此，为了缅怀梅兰芳大师，纪念梅兰芳诞生90周年，80年代泰州市政府出资新建了梅兰芳纪念馆。

纪念馆共分为陈列馆、艺术人生以及后花园三个部分，最精华的要算陈列馆，在陈列馆里可以了解梅兰芳大师的成长背景以及艺术人生，最感人的就是梅兰芳大师在战争年代，用艺术形式来鼓舞人民群众反抗，并以身作则，英勇与敌人周旋。

Mr. Mei Lanfang is very famous master of Beijing opera. Even though he was not born in Taizhou, and hadn't been living in Taizhou, he had some relation with Taizhou. His grandfather was born in Taizhou and had been lived in it for 6 years, and then left for Beijing to study Beijing opera. So local government set up his memorable museum in 1980s in order to remember him.
