In a major collaboration between the State of Washington and the People’s Republic of China, the Seattle Art Museum presents an exhibition that features a stunning archaeological discovery of a lost world. These works give voice to ancient China, but they present more questions than they answer.

This web site is a virtual way for visitors to explore the questions online and post their own theories. If you've been to the show, don’t forget to use your secret password to get your scholar’s cap. Can’t make it to Seattle? Don’t let that stop you from participating.
