The museum focuses on the results of archaeological research in Shaanxi Province over the past century and the more than 200, 000 cultural relics that have been unearthed, aiming to introduce Chinese history and the spirit of the Chinese nation to the world.
A total of 4,218 of the 5,215 cultural relics in the collection are on display. Pottery figurines (小雕像) from the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han from the Western Zhou Dynasty and the epitaph (碑文) of Yan Zhenqing from the Tang Dynasty will be presented to the public for the first time, according to a report from CCTV.
Sun Zhouyong, director of the museum, told the Global Times on Saturday that the museum focuses on the development of Chinese archaeology as its main thread, so all of the displayed cultural relics are introduced alongside the background of their unearthed sites so that the public can have a deeper understanding of the field of archaeology.
Media reported that many of the displayed relics have been restored and are being protected using new techniques and advanced technology. The museum includes sample rooms, an archaeological content center, and a public archaeological center that allows visitors to excavate their own objects using ancient techniques at the hand-on archaeological sites.
With advanced equipment and technical know-how, the Science and Technology Protection Center at the museum conducts research on the protection and restoration of cultural relics mainly unearthed in Shaanxi Province. Some working areas are open to the public, and tourists can see the restoration process of cultural relics through workshops so as to deepen their understanding of the cultural relic protection work.
