Museum showcases Shanxi's ancient heritage

"The use of digital and other modern technologies is a prominent feature of the museum," Wang said. "The combination of digital displays and physical exhibits is aimed to give a new interpretation of the cultural relics and offer an immersive experience to visitors."

Zhang Guochun, Party secretary of the Institute of Archaeology, a branch of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, introduced the most noteworthy exhibits at the museum.

Since 1978, the CASS institute has been responsible for the archaeological excavation work in Taosi and more than 90 percent of the exhibits at the museum have been unearthed by its archaeological team members.
