甘肃省博物馆
Gansu Provincial Museum
The Gansu Provincial Museum displays a region connecting the Central Plains, the Tibetan Plateau, the northern grasslands and Central Asia. Prehistoric painted pottery, Silk Road cultural relics, Buddhist art, paleontological fossils and the famous bronze galloping horse have put Lanzhou into a long communication network. The scope of the collection is so vast that it’s difficult to understand if you check in hastily. Prioritizing the archeology and Silk Road exhibition halls can create a clearer narrative than chasing all the star cultural relics.
