Underwater trove

The National Museum of China will showcase achievements by underwater archaeology experts over the past 20 years.

As part of the museum's centenary celebration, the five-part exhibition features hundreds of photos and exhibits - mainly ancient ceramic works found in sunken ships, charts and illustrations, as well as multimedia installations. It offers viewers a clear idea about the whole underwater archaeological discovery process, including surveying, excavation, preservation and conservation of shipwrecks and cultural relics.

Since the early 1980s, the expert team with the museum has successfully conducted numerous underwater archaeological projects in China's Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East Sea, and South China Sea, yielding rich archaeological findings.

9 am-5 pm, until July 31 (closed on Mondays and public holidays). National Museum of China, 16 East Chang'an Avenue, Dongcheng district, Beijing. 010-6511-6400.
