Dalian Museum's New Exhibition "The Capital of the Northern Dynasties"

My memories of Taiyuan are still fresh in my mind, and now I'm at Dalian Museum to relive the history of Jinyang City and Lou Rui's Tomb! 📅Exhibition Dates: Nov. 15, 2024 - Feb. 15, 2025 📍Exhibition Hall: Hall C, 4th Floor, Dalian Museum I just returned from Taiyuan and discovered this amazing exhibition, which features exquisite artifacts from the Northern Dynasties, Sui, and Tang dynasties collected by Taiyuan Museum. This exhibition is fantastic, telling the history of the city through artifacts, following the threads of "The Capital of the Northern Dynasties" and "The Capital of the Northern Dynasties," and presenting the artifacts from major archaeological discoveries such as Lou Rui's Tomb one by one. The exhibition is divided into three sections: "The Majestic Town," "The Astonishing Ancient Tomb," and "The Splendid Capital." Be sure to take a close look at the key artifact, the "Chihandle Chicken Head Celadon Pot"! It is a first-class artifact. The pot is 48 cm high, with a belly diameter of 23 cm, and was unearthed from the Northern Qi Lou Rui's Tomb. The pot has a disc-shaped mouth, a round lip slightly open, a slender neck, a flat shoulder, a bulging belly, and a small flat bottom. The front of the shoulder has a solid chicken head, the back has two parallel chihandles, the chihandle holds the pot mouth, and the top has a mane. The sides of the shoulder have flat square holes with decorations, and the neck has three circumferential string patterns and three buttons, with a lotus and honeysuckle in the middle. The belly has ridges, with four spreading-winged phoenixes attached below, and the whole body is covered with yellow-green glaze with ice crack patterns, which is extremely beautiful! — 🏛Address: No. 10, Huizhan Road, Shahekou District, Dalian 🎫Admission: Enter with ID card 🕙Opening Hours: 09:00 - 16:30 (Closed on Mondays) 🚇Transportation: - Subway: Take Line 1 to Huizhan Zhongxin Station, exit from Exit D, and walk 200 meters south. - Bus: Get off at "Huizhan Zhongxin/Xinghai Square" Station, accessible by Bus 16, Tram 202, Bus 22, Bus 23, Bus 27, Bus 28, and more.
