This International Museum Day, explore the Mawangdui Tombs of the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220) with Li Qianzi from the Education Center of Hunan Museum. Li recommends a special book: Archaeological Reports for Everyone: Changsha Mawangdui Han Dynasty Tombs.

The book combines archaeological knowledge with artifact displays, allowing readers to admire intricate patterns and vibrant colors with their eyes, while engaging with interactive elements using their hands to experience the richness of history.

Lifelike animal patterns may remind you of a pet at home, while geometric designs might bring back memories of a math class.
