What to Expect

Do you believe there exists another bronze civilization in a parallel universe? A mysterious gaze across thousands of years, the silence of Sanxingdui bronzes is truly mind-blowing.

Among the most renowned exhibits, the Bronze Mask with Protruding Eyes stands out. It is said that these exaggerated eyes might have been used by ancient shamans to communicate with gods, as if they could see through the veil of the mortal world and connect with the divine realm.

The Bronze Sacred Tree is equally astonishing. Legend has it that it was a symbol of the connection between heaven and earth, with its branches reaching towards the sky, maybe serving as a ladder for the souls of the dead to ascend, echoing the ancient beliefs about the afterlife.

The Golden Scepter, wrapped in gold foil, was likely a symbol of power. The engraved patterns of fish and birds perhaps told tales of the ancient Shu people's hunting scenes or spiritual pursuits, safeguarding the authority of the rulers and passing down their legacy through generations.

And the Giant Standing Bronze Figure, with its solemn posture, might have been a guardian or a leader in ancient times. It silently watched over the land, witnessing the rise and fall of the civilization, leaving us to wonder about the past glories and secrets hidden within.
