Gems of China '5 Cultural Relics

San Jose, CA - Lee & Lee Communications announced today a way to plunge into the art of the past with National Treasures: Gems of China 's Cultural Relics, volume 4 in their award winning Treasure the Treasures series.

An exhibition space displays 150 treasures from 34 museums in Mainland, China. Viewers can zoom in, rotate, read about and listen to the majesty of China's imperial past. 35mm video clips further capture the detail and beauty of 25 selected pieces.

For those seeking a more far-flung adventure, the Map of History section unearths the 35 archeological sites where the artifacts were recently discovered while the Time Scroll area unleashes the depth and breadth of dynastic styles. Users can witness how jade suits rewrote Chinese cosmology, explore the terra-cotta warriors that served as statues of conquest and ego, and delve into ritual bronzes of Buddha.

"This CD-ROM allows anyone to turn their computer into a museum," said Ann Lee, President & CEO of Lee & Lee Communications, U.S.A.
