A History of the World in 100 Objects

Is it possible to fit millions of years of the world’s history into one building and learn about it in just one day? The British Museum says yes. Its famous exhibition (展览), “A History of the World in 100 Objects”, comes to China for the very first time. The collection is on show in the National Museum in Beijing from

March 2 to May 31.

This exhibition gets its idea from the book A History of the World in 100 Objects by Neil MacGregor, the former director of the British Museum. Neil presents the 2 million years of human history with 100 objects in the collection of the British Museum, covering all the years from the time when men first stood up till the 21 st century. These 100 sets of objects, various in material and size, have been carefully chosen for their ability to tell powerful and surprising stories about the societies which created them. Through these objects, visitors can know about the people who made and used them—from how they lived to what they believed. There are also some modern inventions such as a solar-powered lamp (太阳能灯) to show the development of modern science and technology.

The exhibition tries to use the objects to show the communication between different civilizations (文明) in human history on this planet. So, when you enjoy the exhibition, remember that globalization (全球化) does not belong to the modern times only. Every human civilization in history is the result of communication with other civilizations, and communication between civilizations has always been a main topic of human society since ancient time. It’s also a good idea to take a map of the world and a timeline of the world history with you. They can help you understand how different civilizations communicated with one another.

It is a great exhibition that covers the whole world and all the human history. It will help Chinese visitors have a better understanding of the world and the human history and it will also be highly meaningful for people to think more about the present and future of China under globalization. Make time for the exhibition and travel back in time to see how humans have shaped, and been shaped by.
