The Shanghai Museum (shaped like one of the food vessels that you'll see below) has five floors of different historical products of China, with everything from calligraphy and currency to furniture and ancient artwork. I spent most of my time looking at pottery, porcelain, and bronze structures, so that's a definite majority of what I have to show you. China invented porcelain and used their traditional art style to create a type of pottery that has become iconic to Chinese culture. The bronze structures are probably the oldest things I've ever seen, some of them possibly existing thousands of years before China was considered a country, but are obviously advanced creations for their time period. This offers an accurate representation of the capabilities of ancient China.
