With a total of 200,000 square meters and 48 exhibition halls, it is the world's largest museum housed in a single building, and it is home to the largest collection of Chinese cultural relics in a single museum, with over 1 million pieces in its permanent collection.0This book includes a selection of the finest artifacts housed in The National Museum of China over the past century. These cultural relics include China's best bronzeware, Buddhist statues, porcelain, furniture and lacquerware, jade, coins, gold and silver items, stone carvings, silk fabrics, ancient texts, and other items rooted in China's long history, all laid out in chronological order to provide a convenient overview. This text leads the reader to meander along the long river of history and gain a thorough understanding of a civilization that has prospered for over five thousand years, the ancient East Asian country of China."-- Provided by the publisher.
