Shanghai Museum to spotlight ancient Chinese civilization of Hongshan Culture

The exhibition will bring together more than 300 artifacts from 20 museums and archaeological institutions around China, to showcase findings of the archaeological exploration of the Hongshan Culture through the past century.

The Hongshan Culture is an important Neolithic archaeological culture in Northern China, dating back to about 6,500-5,000 years ago. It covers an area of around 200,000 square kilometers, including today's western Liaoning province, southeastern Inner Mongolia autonomous region, and northern Hebei province.
