Ancient Greece comes to China in landmark show at Sanxingdui Museum

On July 7, the Sanxingdui Museum unveiled "A Journey to Ancient Greece: Archaeological Explorations," featuring 172 rare artifacts from Greece, some of which are being exhibited outside the country for the first time.

As the museum's first international exhibition since the opening of its new wing, it also marks the first collaboration between Greece's Ministry of Culture and a museum in southwest China. The artifacts span pottery, bronzeware, gold items, marble sculptures, and frescoes, offering a vivid glimpse into ancient Greek civilization and fostering cross-cultural understanding.

Alongside the exhibition, academic forums and cultural programs jointly organized with Greek institutions aim to bring ancient history closer to the public through lectures and interactive events. The exhibition will run through December 21.
