For anyone who lives nearby and can get along there's an exhibition called One Million Years in China currently running in Glasgow's Burrell Collection.
For those who can't get along and experience this firsthand, there's an online exhibition here to accompany it.

One should seek serenity to cultivate the body, thriftiness to cultivate the morals. If you are not simple and frugal, your ambition will not sparkle. If you are not calm and cool, you will not reach far. - Zhugeliang

Which reminded me of my first visit to the British National Museum, Asian section.
Most of the items on displace did not appear to be salvaged from excavation works but rather looted from China during the turbulent years.
When my Malaysian host who was studying in LSE heard my comment, he said his father said exactly the same thing.
In fact, the curators I approached were evasive when I queried about how the pieces came to be in the Museum. I guess there was no point pressing them, and I didn't ask anymore when I went to the Louvre. :P
