Romania’s largest ever archaeological exhibition to open at MNIR in May

Wed 15th
May

“China’s Treasures”, the most valuable ever archaeological exhibition in Romania – 109 pieces in all, representing prehistoric objects made of jade, vessels and bronze and porcelain statues and figurines of the Terracotta Army – will be on display at the  National Museum of  Romanian History (MNIR).

“This is the most valuable archaeological exhibition Romania has hosted since its being a modern state, an exhibition including world importance pieces brought to Bucharest due to the goodwill and dynamic support from the Chinese Government, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Bucharest and the colleagues at the China International Exhibition Agency,” Mediafax quoted MNIR Director Ernest Oberlander-Tarnoveanu.

The 101 sets on display consist of 109 pieces, which, the museum director says, the “Romanian public will be fond of” – soldiers and generals of the Xi’an army and a horse – as well as other valuable items from the Neolithic era – very rare painted ceramics, jade, bronze and porcelain objects, and statues stretching over some 7,000 years of Chinese history, from the Neolithic and up to the early 19th century.
