The Bronze Hall of Sanxingdui Museum Reopens

After about six months of upgrading, the Bronze Hall of Sanxingdui Museum in Southwest China’s Sichuan province reopened on Monday, with an exhibition area of about 4,000 square meters for 107 pieces (sets) of cultural relics.

Since March 2021, Chinese archaeologists have made major breakthroughs at the site’s six newly-found sacrificial pits. More than 500 artifacts, such as ivory, bronze, gold and jade items, dating back about 3,000 years to the Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BC), were discovered.
