The treasures of the civilizations that developed along the Silk Road

The great exhibition Arts, Civilizations: Echoes of Camel Bells Along the Silk Roads involves important cultural and artistic institutions to celebrate the civilizations that have developed along the Silk Road through a rich exhibition of ancient era artifacts and modern and contemporary art interventions. But not only. The installation also provides for the reconstruction of seven Chinese caves - including those of Kezil, Kumutula, Bezeklik, Dunhuang, Yungang, Longmen and Mount Maiji -, in which precious objects have been found, now considered true and own national treasures. Among the most valuable finds that you can admire, certainly the felt hat from the Xiaohe Tomb in the Xinjiang which dates back to about 4.000 years ago, the golden mask created in the period of the Fighters States and the Statue of Buddha crowned with jewelry of the First Tang Dynasty .
