An exhibition showcasing more than 240 artifacts from the Silk Road was inaugurated on Tuesday at the National Art Museum of China (NAMC) in Beijing.
Titled “Ink Splendor and Cultural Context: Gansu Silk Road Art Treasures Exhibition,” the event displays a diverse collection, including painted pottery, bamboo slips, silk manuscripts, inscribed bricks, sculptures, and mural reproductions.
The artifacts have been sourced from the Dunhuang Academy, the Gansu Provincial Museum, the Gansu Jiandu Museum, and the NAMC.
Notable exhibits include a wooden map discovered in Tianshui, Gansu Province, dating back to the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), and a Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD) writing brush.
NAMC curator Wu Weishan stated that the exhibition is part of a broader series aimed at presenting the artistic ideals of the Chinese nation and highlighting the unique features of Chinese civilization.
The exhibition will remain open to visitors until August 17.
