Dunhuang Museum

This museum is present in the city center of Dunhuang City located in the province named Gansu. It was originated in October 1979 as the cultural center of the country. It is positioned in a three-floor building covering the area of 2,400 sqm. A group of people with their camels traveling along the Silk Road will greet you just in front of the museum. The museum mirrors the thriving expansion of the society and the cultural virtues exchange among China and the western countries. The museum demonstrates above 4,000 Chinese and Tibetan folk vestiges. All these relics are displayed in three sections.

3. The third section displays the prosperous culture of Dunhuang including some pretty silk floret brocade, wicker slides used for writing, treasured weapons and tools which provide valued material to study the legislation, ethos and economic infrastructure of China.
