Nanyue Tomb Museum

There is one more place of interest in Guangzhou that I wanted to highlight here - Nanyue Tomb Museum.


We went there by metro. There is a metro station right next to the museum.


The museum is in front of the actual excavation ground. Public can visit the excavation site before looking at the exhibits in the museum.

In the museum, it was a surprise to see the amount of articles excavated & exhibited. Of course being a tomb, the most important exhibit was the coffin of the owner of the  tomb. 
Here's the coffin of the master of the tomb ........ 
Tomb owner was buried in this Jade Suit
It was a good place to visit .
