Discovery Wall: Tomb Culture of Ancient China

Participants will be introduced to selected objects found in ancient Chinese tombs as a way of surveying history from the late Neolithic (3,000 BC) era to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). These objects reveal the contents of ancient tombs and shed light on similar types of items used for daily life. In addition, these tomb goods—ritual vessels, figurines and musical instruments—represent exemplary workmanship in jade, bronze, and ceramics. Working methods with these materials are also explored.

This program is geared to grades 5 and up but all are welcome. All our live interactive video conference presentations are sponsored by Atmos Energy.
