The China National Silk Museum has been in charge of restoring the silk fabrics since 2009.

It is rare to find such a large amount of high-quality silk fabrics dating back to the Song Dynasty in China, according to the archaeologists.

The heritage park and Nanjing Museum will hold public forums about silk and silk products during the exhibition.
