A new exhibition at the Shanghai Museum has gathered dragon-shaped relics from different eras. From jade and bronze, to silver, gold and porcelain, the works in "Longing for Spring: A celebration of the Year of the Dragon" reflect the myriad of influences that have shaped the current look of the Chinese dragon. Co-organized with the Liaoning Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and the Xi'an Museum, the show runs until March 31.
