Art from Shanxi's ancient tombs goes on show

Art buffs can see ancient tomb-wall paintings from the Northern Dynasty (439-581), Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties (960-1368) - most of which have never been displayed outside of Shanxi province - at an ongoing exhibition at the Shanghai Museum.

The exhibition, Ancient Wall Paintings from the Shanxi Museum, which runs through March 4, features 89 tomb-wall paintings divided into 12 groups.

"It is the largest exhibition of ancient wall paintings in China," says Yang Zhigang, director of the Shanghai Museum.
