Anyang

In the 1980s, Anyang' Nyong'o, a political science professor at the time, was among a group of academics who organised against Moi's regime.

While “Anyang” is installed in the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, it’s linked to the museum’s sibling, the adjoining Freer Gallery of Art.

In 1929, leadership of the Anyang excavations passed to Li Chi, who was a Freer employee from 1925 to 1930.

When the first official excavations began at Anyang, China, in 1928, archaeologists unearthed the sort of stuff that can survive three millennia under dirt — bronze vessels, ceramic jars and jade ornaments.

More than 200 such artifacts are included in “Anyang: China’s Ancient City of Kings,” the first major exhibition in the United States devoted to the capital of China’s 3,000-year-old Shang dynasty.
