Plans were unveiled earlier this week by the Kuche Department of Culture for Xinjiang's first Ancient Tomb Museum to begin construction within the year.
The museum, which is hoped will add to the culture of the Autonomous Region will consist of three floors, a plaza on the ground floor with interactive cultural displays, a second floor for workshops and a further third floor for conservation work.
All of this comes after the August 2007 discovery of an Age of Disunion tomb that was uncovered in the Kuche region containing over 200 precious artifacts. The tomb was important for the history of the western regions as a whole, as it added weight to the historical links between Western Han dynasty power over the far west. All of this made the tomb one of the ten great finds of 2007.
