Description
Discover the rich and complex history of China through 350 artifacts spanning from the Paleolithic period to present day. This beautifully designed companion book offers a comprehensive survey of China's fascinating past, mirroring the layout of the Cyrus Tang Hall of China exhibition.

With in-depth insights from the exhibition's curatorial team, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the objects and themes featured in the show.
Experience the wonders of China's history through beautifully designed pages, perfect for anyone interested in exploring this incredible permanent exhibition at The Field Museum.
