To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the museum, a special exhibition named “Looking back at the Ming Dynasty, exploring Wanli Dynasty” was organized in the section dedicated to the Ming tombs. The film was produced to go with the exhibition and includes three parts. The first one offers a general introduction of the Ming tombs, the process and results of the excavation work in the main tomb, Ding Ling. The second part mainly uses animation to introduce the excavation work in the Ding Ling’s underground palace. The third one tells some remarkable stories that took place during the Wanli era.
