Shanghai tourism festival sees Dunhuang art open

Cave No. 17, known as the Cave of Scriptures, was discovered by Wang Yuanlu, a Taoism monk, in 1900, when more than 50,000 artifacts were excavated, including Buddhist scriptures, social life documents, paintings, embroidery, and so on. Thanks to digital technology, the exhibition managed to bring together some of the important documents and scriptures from Cave No. 17, which are now in the collections of museums all over the world.

An important part of the exhibition is dedicated to the continual efforts in the protection of the Mogao Caves by several generations of Chinese archaeologists and artists, as well as international collaboration in this field.
