can I take photos inside the museum?

Flash photography is banned (to protect the bronze from damage), but natural light shots are allowed! The museum’s lighting is designed to highlight the artifacts—soft, warm tones make the bronze masks and gold pieces glow. The giant sacred tree is in a well-lit hall, so you can get stunning full shots without flash. At the archaeological site, wide-angle photos of the pits and surrounding fields (with Sichuan’s green hills in the background) are perfect—morning light (when we visit) adds a magical touch.
