Poly Art Museum
This small but exquisite museum displays a glorious array of ancient bronzes from
the Shang and Zhou dynasties, a magnificent high-water mark for bronze produc-
tion. In an attached room are four of the 12, Western-styled bronze animals
plundered during the sacking of the Old Summer Palace (

that have been
acquired by the museum. The last room is populated with a sublime collection of
standing bodhisattva statues, most of which date from the Northern Qi, Northern
Wei and Tang dynasties.
