The exhibition showcases over 100 exhibits including the replica cave of Mogao Cave 285, virtual caves, artefacts and archives, interactive multimedia installations and audio-visual programmes, to offer a unique museum experience that allows visitors to learn about the history and art of the Dunhuang Caves.
