Taste the ice creams in shapes of China's cultural relics

Inspired by China's cultural relics, the National Museum of China has launched a variety of creative food products in recent years. Those products featuring different shapes of cultural relics have been designed in an attempt to arouse people's interests in exhibits of museums.

With its precursor, the Preparatory Office of the National Museum of History, established in July 1912, the NMC was formed in 2003 as a result of the merger of the National Museum of Chinese History and the National Museum of Chinese Revolution, both on the east side of Tian'anmen Square.
