About
The Sanxingdui Museum sits in Guanghan, a city in Deyang within Sichuan province in south-western China. It is devoted to the Sanxingdui archaeological finds and the ancient Shu civilization that produced them, and it is known in Chinese as 三星堆博物馆.
What you will see
The museum displays bronze artifacts and other cultural relics from the ancient Shu civilization. Many of the objects are unusual in form and their purpose is still a subject of study, which gives the collection much of its mystery. Visitors who enjoy archaeology or early Chinese history will find the displays a focused way to learn about a culture that is less familiar to many outside the region.
