The Asian History Museum is one of the best in the country...if you go 2 things you must see. The Money tree, and the bronzes. Here's what you need to know about bronzes, which were largely ceremonial but held food for ancestors in tombs.
1. They are 3,000 yrs old.
2. Someone had to mine the tin, and someone else had to mine the copper.
3. Someone had to cut down tons of trees to smelt and mix the metals together to make bronze.
4. Someone had to make the designs and molds.
5. Someone else had to feed all these workers.
This is indicative of a highly organized society. I am awed by these, you should be too.
The tripod above has many think, "mushrooms" on top. Perhaps for hallucinogenic purposes.
