Beijing 2024 - National Museum of China (中国国家博物馆) Others Exhibition

While walking from one hall to another, or just casually crossing some corridors of the museum, there were also pieces and smaller informative exhibition on display. So here are just some of them that caught my attention. This was just a short path area showcasing conservative effort to preserve historical artifacts found around the world. 

But what's so cool about it is the huge stone structure displayed here. It almost felt like you were in Egypt! Were these found in China? Yeah, I didn't really the description. I rather let my imagination run wild! Lol. But I bet you could just Google it to find out more. I was just massively impressed with it.

I know I've already posted a post on metal pieces and art, but then again there was a hall filled with patriotic art pieces that just shine! And the colour scheme were really minimalistic, so that really drew my attention and admiration. Here is one of the Great Wall of China! The characters on it says the People's Lake and Mountain.

And here is a whole picture of the People's Lake and Mountain in a different perspective. Sometimes I wonder, why aren't artisans who made these art pieces that is admired from generations to generations more appreciated and rewarded. I remember seeing beautiful sandstone calving at Angkor Wat, but not much is mentioned about the people who calve them. The history focuses instead of the Kings that commission them. Such a pity.

There was a hall just on stones. And the display above was just mind blowing! Almost like you're in another realm, or even in space! Lol. All those pieces, made of stone, granite that shines. Lovely. Seriously, the display here at the museum was an art piece by itself!

I also looked out for my favourite Mulan movie references. So here is an ancient weapon, kinda like a hand canon, a mobile rocket launcher? You could see this in action in the cartoon Mulan! It's nice to see that it was based on real Chinese history! And yup, that's a whole dragon head there. 

Wooden display of cute table and chair, and the fascinating wooden 'typewritter'. It's a table of character tiles in Chinese! Maybe it was used more for ceremonial purposes or divination purposes. I'm pretty sure the Chinese characters hold more than that table ever could!

Lastly, spotted as we walked pass the main hallway, just casually displayed on a glass panel, this elegant piece.  It's made of wood, yet how soft and fluid it looked. Almost like it could move and dance all by itself! Yeah, as I explore more of Asia, I am convinced that I was brainwashed by the education system that seems to be pro-western culture. I am glad I now have time to finally undo those damages before it goes with me to my grave!
