"Artifacts are legacies left by our ancestors and should be shared with the public," said Zhu Yarong, deputy curator of the museum.

With the help of audio and video explanations and other exhibition methods, Zhu said the public can get a glimpse of archaeological work and gain deeper insight into the restoration of artifacts. So far, the restoration area has specific rooms for chinaware, jade ware, metal ware and elephant tusks.

The Sanxingdui Ruins, which are 40 kilometers north of Sichuan regional capital, Chengdu, cover 12 square kilometers. Archaeological discoveries show that it was a highly developed and prosperous cultural hub existing between 2,800 and 4,800 years ago.
