About Guo State Museum
Excavated objects show the material world of its rulers, while the preserved horse-and-chariot burial turns ritual and status into a spatial experience. Look at the arrangement of the remains as well as the individual objects: the museum is valuable because it connects artefacts with an actual burial setting, rather than presenting the state only through a timeline.
What to look for
- The preserved horse-and-chariot burial, with the remains arranged in their archaeological setting.
- Objects excavated from the Guo rulers’ tombs, revealing burial customs and elite craftsmanship.
