Heavyweight National Treasures Arrive in Luoyang! The Grand Exhibition of Famen Temple Underground Palace Treasures is Now Open

A magnificent feast of the High Tang Dynasty is unfolding at the Temporary Exhibition Hall on the second floor of Luoyang Museum—"Splendor and Solemnity: Special Exhibition of Famen Temple and High Tang Dynasty Relics." The most eye-catching highlight of this exhibition is undoubtedly the rare national treasures from the Famen Temple Underground Palace! The artifacts unearthed from the Famen Temple Underground Palace, along with the Hejia Village Hoard, are hailed as the "strongest movable relics of the Tang Dynasty." This exhibition brings three top-tier artifacts explicitly prohibited from being exhibited abroad by national decree—an exceptionally rare opportunity: Original Octagonal Reliquary (Fifth and First Layers): The core reliquary for housing the Buddha's finger relic, showcasing the pinnacle of craftsmanship and imperial grandeur. (Important note: If the on-site display labels it as the "Fourth Layer," it is actually the "Fifth Layer"—visitors, please take note of this precious detail!) Silver-Flowered Twelve-Ringed Staff (Replica): A symbol of the highest authority in Buddhism, known as the "King of Buddhist Staffs." Though a replica, its exquisite beauty and grandeur are awe-inspiring. Gilded Copper Pagoda (Replica): A delicately crafted Tang Dynasty-style gilded copper pagoda, an invaluable model for studying Tang architecture and craftsmanship. Exhibition Highlights: - One original artifact prohibited from leaving China (part of the Octagonal Reliquary) displayed up close, allowing visitors to experience the awe of millennium-old imperial treasures. - Two top-tier national treasures (the Staff and Copper Pagoda), though replicas, are highly accurate restorations, perfectly showcasing their artistic and historical value. - A systematic display of High Tang Dynasty treasures unearthed from the Famen Temple Underground Palace, offering a glimpse into the glorious civilization and pinnacle of Buddhist art during the Tang Dynasty. Exhibition Period: Now until mid-October 2024 (specific dates subject to Luoyang Museum's official announcements) Location: Temporary Exhibition Hall, 2nd Floor, Luoyang Museum Ticket Price: 60 RMB (Absolutely worth it!
