Barbie In China

This morning our guide took us to the Changsha Provincial Museum. It was a very interesting trip and we learned a lot about the Hunan Province. This is the front of the building, it was so big!








The biggest attraction in the museum is this 2000 year old mummy. She was found in the 70's and look how well she was preserved. They said they found 138 watermelon seeds in her stomach, so they think she ate a melon just before she died. It really was amazing, and we got to see her tomb and the tombs that held her husband and sons. Very interesting.















On the second floor of the museum was a BARBIE EXHIBIT. Can you believe that? It was SOOO neat and had barbies from the 40's all the way up to today. This is an amazing collection and probably had about 400 dolls total. Avery loved it! Several Chinese told our guide that Avery looked like Barbie :)
