Let me give you all a brief introduction about Hubei Provincial Musuem.
Hubei Provincial Museum is one of the most well known museums in China, with a huge collection of historic and cultural relics. There had been many changes to the museum since its establishment in 1953. This musuem is located in Wuchang District of Wuhan, Hubei Province. The collection of the museum includes ancient set of bronze bells and all kind of different ancient relics.
Here are the pictures taken.
After our visit to the museum, we had a picnic at 东湖. The scenery there was also amazing.Here are the pictures taken.
Reflection
It was real nice to experience spring season in Wuhan. The flowers blooming was something that i had never seen before. Not to mention the different ancient artifacts that i had seen today, it was really an eye opener. What interested me the most was the different swords that were displayed in the museum. It was fascinating how the ancient tools in the past can be preserved so well until today. I did some research over the internet and found how the people preserved the artifacts.
Here are one of the examples how people preserve artifacts. When cleaning some artifacts, they use different techniques for different types of artifacts. To get rust off a metal item, they use dental tools to scrape rust off. The rust usually pops off easily. To keep metal from rusting again, they put tannic acid on the surface of the metal.
Thats all for today!:)
