What's on

Past review

Since its establishment in 1912, the then preparatory office of the National Museum of History, now the National Museum of China, has viewed archaeological excavations as one of its core missions to find more about Chinese history and culture, and it has been participating in major projects around the country. Over 240 objects, mostly from its own collection, are on show at the museum to review its accomplishments in the field.

The long-term exhibition, Profound Accumulation, Far-reaching Influence, features some 70 archaeological excavations and surveys the museum has organized or taken part in over the years. Objects on show are of varying categories to demonstrate technological progress to aid important archaeological undertakings being carried out.
