It's amazing to move the entire grotto into the exhibition hall, this first-class museum is extraordinary

Wuwei Museum is a national first-class museum with a very high status in Gansu, and its collection of cultural relics is second only to Gansu Provincial Museum and Gansu Bamboo Slips Museum. When traveling to Gansu, experiencing the local history and culture, especially the history and culture of the Hexi Corridor of the ancient Silk Road, you must visit Wuwei Museum. 【Special Recommendation】 In addition to the permanent exhibition on the historical development of Wuwei, Wuwei Museum especially recommends the special exhibition - The Charm of Tianti Mountain Grottoes - Special Exhibition of Tianti Mountain Grottoes. The special exhibition of Tianti Mountain Grottoes is located in the west exhibition hall on the third floor, displaying 81 cultural relics cleaned, relocated, and restored from Tianti Mountain Grottoes. A batch of precious cultural relics such as the Northern Liang Stone Pagoda, murals, and colored sculptures, which are exhibited for the first time, allow visitors to experience the charm of the grottoes firsthand. The special exhibition of Tianti Mountain Grottoes is also one of the permanent exhibitions of Wuwei Museum, so don't miss it when you visit the museum. 【Exhibition Features】 It makes up for the regret that a large number of Tianti Mountain Grottoes were submerged due to the construction of a reservoir. In the 1950s, a large number of grottoes were submerged near Tianti Mountain Grottoes due to the need to build a reservoir. The statues, paintings, and murals in the grottoes were cut and sent to cultural relic management agencies for preservation. Now only the Great Buddha Grottoes excavated in the Tang Dynasty remain in Tianti Mountain Grottoes for visitors to visit. Nowadays, to fully understand the history and culture of Tianti Mountain Grottoes, you can only visit the special exhibition of Tianti Mountain Grottoes in Wuwei Museum, where a large number of murals and colored sculptures are presented in the exhibition hall. The exhibition hall also uses modern means to restore part of the grottoes and the Great Buddha Grottoes of the Tang Dynasty, so visitors who cannot visit Tianti Mountain Grottoes in person can see the grandeur of the Great Buddha in the museum. 【Exhibition Hall Location】 Located on the third floor of the museum. Special Tips: 1. After going up the stairs, you will be at the exit of the exhibition hall. Remember to go around the corridor to the entrance on the right-hand side and then enter to visit in order. 2. The end of the special exhibition tells about the cultural relic protection work of Tianti Mountain Grottoes and the restoration and preservation methods of the grotto murals, which is very detailed. There are many first-hand materials on display, so friends interested in archaeology can learn more about it. 🚗 【Tips】 1. Wuwei Museum is closed every Monday. Currently, there are not many visitors, so there is no need to make a reservation in advance. You can enter the museum with your ID card on-site registration. 2. Wuwei Museum is not far from historical sites such as Wuwei Confucian Temple and Kumarajiva Temple, which can be visited together in one day. 3. Wuwei Museum is adjacent to Wuwei Library, so friends interested in cultural and museum venues can visit together.
