Relic Exhibition of Han Dynasty big hit in Paris

According to his introduction, the exhibition received around 85,000 visitors during its four month's display.

"Among exhibitions organized by the Guimet Museum in the last decade, this one is within the top five most successful," he said,

"And we are looking forward to conducting more exhibitions with our Chinese counterparts in the future."

"The result of this exhibition has exceeded our expectations, " said one of the curators, Director of the Chinese art department of Guimet Museum Thierry Jopeck.

There are several reasons behind the success of this exhibition, but among them all the most important reason is the excellence of the exhibits.

"More than 30 percent of the exhibits are grade one national relics. Many people haven't had the chance to study the history of China systematically, but they will be able to know the importance of these artifacts in a glance," he said.

Huizhong Cao, one of the organisers who is a researcher working for Guimet National Museum of Asian Artsk, said "This exhibition is a gift from China to France."

Penglun Dai, an exhibition organiser from the China Cultural Relics Exchange Centre, pointed out that the smooth cooperation between the organising parties and the ultimate success of the exhibition could not have been achieved without the expert facilities provided by Guimet National Museum of Asian Arts and their superb understanding of Chinese culture.
