Museum's ancient relic memes come alive

A series of memes of ancient relics produced by the Gansu Provincial Museum in Lanzhou, Gansu province, has been hailed by netizens, saying that they "make relics come alive". The group of images used as memes includes wooden chess players from the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24) and a colored pottery man from the Tang Dynasty (618-907). The museum's deputy curator Ban Rui told the Lanzhou Morning News that the macros used online not only bring the cultural relics closer to the public but also broaden the museum's influence.
