Móra Ferenc Museum, located in Szeged, Hungary, is set to host an exhibition of cultural relics from the Han Dynasty, organized by the Shanghai Museum, Xuzhou Museum and Chengdu Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology.

The exhibition from June 24 to December 31 will enable visitors to delve into the politics and daily life of the Han Dynasty, explore China's profound jade culture, and trace the evolution of Chinese characters. It will serve as a great platform to gain insight into Chinese civilization and its enduring vitality.

The three institutions cooperate to provide 100 archaeological artifacts for the exhibition, among which 18 collections are from Xuzhou Museum, such as a jade burial suit embellished with gold thread and a tiger head-shaped jade pillow ornament.

Back István, the Hungarian representative, said in fluent Chinese that he has been engaged in museum exchange and digitization of cultural relics between Hungary and China for 15 years. He also mentioned his numerous visits to Xuzhou, emphasizing that every visit brings new discoveries.

"It feels different to experience history through museums, landmarks, or archaeological sites. It’s a pity that I can't bring more artifacts to Hungary for exhibition, I truly wish I could pack more items," said István, who also goes by the Chinese name Bei Siwen.
