It is extraordinarily rich in content and the broadest scope among the great exhibitions of cultural relics that China has sponsored abroad during the past decade. Imperial Tombs of China spans seven dynasties (500 B.C. -- A.D. ) and includes more than 250 objects excavated from the tombs of China's emperors and ancient rulers. The collection of objects comes from twenty-one museums and cultural centres throughout nine Chinese provinces. The focus is on imperial tombs because funerary objects are not only works of art representing the finest materials, design and craftsmanship, they are also visual records that help us to understand the life and culture of ancient China. Tombs are also important because they were believed to house the spirits of the world's most powerful emperors Organized by Wonders in association with the People's Republic of China, this exhibition catalogue offers the reader a unique perspective on this ancient culture.
