    Description

    This book provides a guide to China's rich and varied museum collections, illustrated with rare images from the collections themselves. A great number of exquisite objects and artifacts have been preserved on China's vast territory, many of which are now displayed as museum exhibits. These cultural relics provide a crucial supplement to documentary sources, enriching our understanding of China's long history. The sixty-one museums selected for this book include both famous collections that are featured in the UNESCO list of World Cultural Heritage Sites, and others that are less familiar to Western eyes. China's Museums will inspire future visitors and those with an interest in Chinese history.

    • A comprehensive guide to sixty-one of China's most celebrated, and less well known, museum collections
    • Written by two leading Chinese experts whose work is not widely available in the West
    • Full colour illustrations support the discussion throughout
