The National Museum of China will reopen its doors to the public on Sunday after nearly four years of repairs and renovation. China's ancient bronze art will highlight the new start as the first exhibition to open in the new facility.

104 pieces are selected as the most symbolic bronze art of ancient China. They are lined up to chronicle the past glory running through 12 centuries, from late Shang Dynasty to the end of Warring States Period, around the second century B.C.

The exhibit covers a wide range from various vessels to weapons and some 30 pieces will make their first appearance in 20 years.
