Encounter the radical forms of Sanxingdui

Move slowly through the large bronze masks, trees, gold and jade, using excavation displays to place their unfamiliar forms in the ancient Shu world. The experience is structured as a deliberate route rather than a hurried photo stop.

Best timeYear-roundDuration4–6 hoursEnergyEasy

Move slowly through the large bronze masks, trees, gold and jade, using excavation displays to place their unfamiliar forms in the ancient Shu world. Moving through New museum galleries, then masks and bronze trees, then excavation interpretation, then conservation view gives the visit a clear sequence and keeps the landscape, people or history connected to the activity itself.

Reserve timed entry, avoid flash and check gallery rotations because major objects may move for conservation. Confirm the live official calendar, access, permit, weather and local safety guidance before departure, reserve any capacity-controlled element and follow instructions from guides, rangers or site staff.
