Music that reverberates through the ages

China's ancient music may no longer be heard, but its instruments can be seen at an ongoing show at Peking University.

The exhibition Remaining Music Charms of Huaxia at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum of Art and Archaeology displays dozens of unearthed instruments and items related to dancing.

The pieces are on loan from the Henan Museum in Zhengzhou, where decades of excavations have shown the richness and longevity of China's musical traditions.
