The exhibition brings together treasures from museums along the ancient Silk Road in Gansu and Sichuan provinces, as well as the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. According to curator Sonam Tso, the oldest exhibits date back to the Han and Jin dynasties (206 BC–420).
Among the highlights is a small brocade fragment from the Xinjiang Museum, featuring flowing cloud patterns alongside horses, deer and qilin, a mythical creature in Chinese culture, reflecting the artistic vitality of the era.
