Sanxingdui Museum, Archaeological museum in Guanghan, China
The museum spans 33 hectares along the Duck River, featuring two main exhibition halls dedicated to ancient bronze artifacts and precious materials.
Archaeological excavations at Sanxingdui since the 1920s have revealed numerous Bronze Age artifacts, leading to the museum's establishment in 1997.
The exhibition halls display over 1,500 sets of relics, including bronze masks, golden objects, and jade items from the ancient Shu civilization.
Located 40 kilometers north of Chengdu, the museum provides detailed explanations in Chinese and English throughout its exhibition spaces.
The new building incorporates three mound-shaped structures reflecting the name Sanxingdui, which translates to Three Star Mounds.
