湖南博物院

The Hunan Museum takes the discovery of the Mawangdui Han Tomb as the core. Lacquerware, silk fabrics, silk books, painted coffins and the specially preserved remains of Xin Zhui jointly reconstruct the diet, medicine, cosmology and aristocratic life of more than 2,000 years ago. Other galleries place the tomb within the context of Hunan archeology and art history, with value far beyond viewing a famous body.

长沙简牍博物馆

The Changsha Bamboo Slips Museum specializes in collecting and displaying locally unearthed bamboo and wooden slips. These fragile documents record administrative, legal, taxation and daily affairs before the popularization of paper. The exhibition also explains the process of excavation, conservation and interpretation of ancient texts, allowing people to directly understand how local government and ordinary transactions were written and managed.
