" As visitors stand outside queuing for tickets, looking at the impressive external structure of the Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology, they have unbeknownst to themselves already entered the “Return to Shihsanhang Permanent Exhibition.” Indeed, the two distinct groups of buildings represent land and sea. In addition, the slightly slanted posture of the specially designed octagonal tower and the surface of the high exposed concrete walls allude to the inability to recreate the Shihsanhang Site and the need to conduct a conduct a “rescue excavation.” The exhibition area is arranged like a theater production, whereby visitors are invited into Shihsanhang to experience things on a more personal level. Naturally enough, the main focus of the various exhibitions is the display of items unearthed at the Shihsanhang Site, including the unique “Anthropomorphic Jar” used by the Museum as its logo."

"Further discretion is advised."
