Making history dance and sing

Historic Chinese relics have been “brought to life” through an animated exhibit at the Baoji Bronze Ware Museum in China’s northwest province of Shaanxi. Introduced in time for the recent Lunar New Year celebration, the production featured animated versions of a collection including items from the Tang (618-907) and Ming (1368-1644) dynasties. Chimes, statues and pottery figures were among 68 historic pieces depicted dancing and singing in the video. Museum curators said they hope the exhibition offers a more attractive look at the collection. The animation is scheduled to run until March 7, 2019.
