Abstract

For the first time in Luxembourg and the surrounding Greater Region, this spectacular exhibition provides an overview of 3000 years of history of the Chinese civilization ranging from the Xia and Shang dynasties up to the Song dynasty. Over 150 objects illustrate the development of stratified societies and the emergence of centralized states in the Chinese Central Plains. This is undoubtedly one of the most important archaeological exhibitions presented so far in Luxembourg. The project has been developed in close collaboration with Henan Museum and the main museums of the province of Henan. Exhibition: Musée national d'histoire et d'art, Luxembourg (21.11.2018-28.04.2019).
