3 museums set to stage exhibition to showcase common heritage

Three neighboring province-level museums in northern China will simultaneously kick off a major exhibition to mark the upcoming Chinese Lunar New Year and showcase a shared history of folklore and customs.

The House of Gold and Jade: Exhibition of Ancient Life in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, which will begin on Jan 20 and run through Feb 19, will display a total of 600 cultural relics from the Capital Museum in Beijing, the Tianjin Museum and the Hebei Museum in Shijiazhuang, capital of Hebei province.

Each museum will host one part of the display, which will include gold ware, jade ornaments, paintings, enamel pieces and other exquisite items representing the region's state-of-the-art craftsmanship.
