A Cool Summer Retreat | This Treasure Museum in Shanghai Has a New Exhibition

✨ The Minhang District Museum has kicked off Shanghai's summer cultural exhibition tour, this time in collaboration with the Hebei Museum and the Hebei Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology to present the 'Grand Han Dynasty - The Essence of the Han Royal Family Exhibition', to appreciate the grandeur and boldness of the Han Dynasty. · 🎨 'Grand Han Dynasty - The Essence of the Han Royal Family Exhibition' ⏱2024.6.25-8.25 · ✅ I arrived one hour after the exhibition opened on the first day, by which time I had already missed the daily limited distribution of cultural and creative handbooks. Of course, the museum was quite lively on the first day of the exhibition, with media, staff, and more importantly, citizens of all ages. I was also fortunate to see the museum's little brother Di being surrounded and attacked, with everyone listening to his explanations with great interest. ❇️ Hebei is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation, and this time the relics from afar are mainly from the royal tombs of the Han Dynasty's Zhongshan State, including those of Zhongshan Jing King Liu Sheng, Zhongshan Huai King Liu Xiu, Zhongshan Jian King Liu Yan, and other princes of various dynasties. 📝 The entire exhibition hall is divided into three spaces, 'Zhongshan Enthronement' and 'Changle Weiyang' are two parts. From clothing, food, utensils, and other objects, as well as the 'jade' as a medium, the spiritual world of the people at that time is reflected. And the biggest highlight is undoubtedly the gilt bronze-threaded jade garment, which highlights the material favor received by Zhongshan Jian King Liu Yan from Emperor Guangwu, using the material of silver thread that was only allowed at the time, and specially using gilt bronze thread. ▶ Past special exhibitions at the Minhang Museum: ▪ 'Han Dynasty - Wuji: The Essence of Mawangdui Relics Exhibition' ▪ 'Northern Frontier Echoes - The Essence of Ordos Bronze Ware Exhibition' ▪ 'The Year of Wanli - The Special Exhibition of Wanli Relics from the Ming Dynasty Tombs' ▪ 'Encounter with the Marquis of Haihun - The Essence of Western Han Dynasty Liu He's Tomb Exhibition' 📍1538 Xinzhen Road, Minhang District, Shanghai 🚇 Subway Line 9 Qibao Station ⏱9:00-17:00 💰Free
