Jackie Chan's Web site says construction has begun on a museum for the action movie star in the Chinese financial capital Shanghai.
A statement published Friday says the 54-year-old attended a ceremony marking the start of work earlier this week.
The museum will house props and costumes from Chan's movies, photos and other memorabilia, the Web site said. Construction is scheduled to finish in October 2009.
