Yinqueshan Han Tombs Bamboo Slips Museum, Archaeological museum in Lanshan District, Linyi City, China

The museum exhibits thousands of bamboo slips containing ancient Chinese texts across three main sections in a 10,000-square-meter exhibition space.

Construction workers discovered two Western Han dynasty tombs in 1972, containing 4,942 bamboo strips in the first tomb and 32 in the second tomb.

The bamboo slips feature military texts including Sun Tzu's The Art of War and the previously lost Sun Bin's Art of War from the Western Han period.

The museum building occupies 2,400 square meters within landscaped gardens and presents replicas of the original tombs alongside authentic artifacts.

The second tomb revealed a collection of calendars from 134 BC, representing the oldest and most complete calendar specimens found in China.
