The Art of Life: Multimedia Exhibition of Mawangdui Han Culture, jointly organized by Hunan Museum, the Digital Library of China and Harvard FAS CAMlab in the United States, opened at the museum on June 8 and runs until February.

The exhibition uses technologies such as 3D and other multimedia technologies to give visitors a theatrical and immersive experience of the life of people in the Han Dynasty.

Eugene Y. Wang, an art professor at Harvard University and one of the curators of the exhibition, said the significance of the tombs is not just that they represent social life during the Han Dynasty, but more importantly embody an illusory world that can be showcased through multimedia.

Bringing cultural relics to life showcases the social scene of ancient times and digs deep into the legendary world behind them, he said.
