The Sanxingdui Ruins site, hailed as "one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century", provides rare evidence for exploring the vanished ancient Shu kingdom, which flourished over 3,000 years ago.

Today, this exhibition, connected through four major units, restores the belief systems and everyday life of the ancient Shu kingdom through a combination of static displays and dynamic light and shadow.
