Some great exhibits


Forgive me now for a few posts showing exhibits. We didn't have time to visit the main archeology museum which was further out so maybe that's a reason to return. But I knew this museum had plenty to see. So starting in the top left and going clockwise: tiny replica porcelain boots about the size of a 50p coin; a huge vase from 400BC almost completely intact (surviving because it was in a burial chamber); a bowl that operated as a timing device for speeches with the name of the speaker on the side (this one lasted about 6 minutes); and small tokens with writing clearly but roughly cut into the surface. All about 2,500 years old.
