The Gansu Provincial Museum ,covering
a total area of 16.5 acres, is the most impressive museum in the province.
This is one of the best sights in the city, and for those who are in the
western section of Lanzhou, a visit is well worthwhile. The museum complex
is made up of three separate buildings linked by corridors, and further
divided into two sections, a natural resources section downstairs and historical
exhibits upstairs.
The museum houses a variety of collections including color-painted pottery
from the Neolithic Period, murals from the Wei and Jin periods, bamboo slips
for writing from the Han time, and bronze artifacts. Most archeological
finds in the region of Hexi Corridor are kept here. It is well worth a visit. |
