Exhibition tells story of our city
Print Edition
NEARLY 500 artifacts that help tell the story of Shanghai’s early civilization and development will go on show today at the Shanghai Museum.
The exhibition, titled “Tracing History: Archaeological Discoveries in Shanghai,” features a host of fascinating pieces from various periods of the city’s history, including Neolithic jades, bronzes from the Spring and Autumn period (770-476 BC), gold items from the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), and religious objects from the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties.
“These relics have been linked together to define the developmental trajectory of Shanghai,” said Chen Xiejun, the museum’s director.
The exhibition spans three halls, each with its own theme: Light of Civilization, Process of Urbanization, and Hidden Relics from Pagodas. It runs until August 31 and admission is free.
