(240226) -- ANYANG, Feb. 26, 2024 (Xinhua) -- An aerial drone photo shows the new building of Yinxu Museum in Anyang, central China's Henan Province, Feb. 23, 2024. A new building of the Yinxu Museum in Anyang officially opened to the public on Monday. Located near the archaeological site of the Yin Ruins, which is the location of the last capital of the Shang Dynasty (1600 B.C.-1046 B.C.), the expanded Yinxu Museum is the first national major archaeological museum to comprehensively present the Shang civilization. The new building boasts an exhibition area of 22,000 square meters, where nearly 4,000 items or sets of cultural relics, including bronzeware, pottery, jade objects, and oracle bones, are on display. The museum's old building was constructed in 2005. As archaeological work at the Yin Ruins continued to yield results, the building's mere 1,500-square-meter exhibition area became insufficient to effectively conserve and showcase the relics. This sparked the planning of the new building, and its const
