Watching a children’s play at the Liaoning Provincial Museum has become a delight for young audiences this Spring Festival. Children from across Liaoning Province and beyond, accompanied by their parents, have been flocking to the museum to explore exhibitions, appreciate cultural relics and enjoy an immersive theatrical experience.

The original children’s play, National-Treasure Adventures at Liaoning Provincial Museum, co-produced by the museum and professional performing arts groups, runs daily from February 19 (the third day of the first Chinese lunar month) to March 3 (the Lantern Festival), drawing enthusiastic young crowds. Masterpieces from the museum’s collections—such as the Golden Buyao Hairpin, Duck-Shaped Glass Water Dropper, Bronze Big Round Ding with Beast-Mask Design, and Gilded Wooden Stirrups—are vividly “presented” on the stage, weaving together a series of historical tales related to cultural relics.

The production blends music, dance, and drama with a wealth of interactive elements, unfolding the storyline in a way that resonates with children while “unlocking” historical secrets. Through lively dialogue, spirited choreography, and immersive performances, young viewers become no longer mere spectators, but active participants in the journey through time—completing challenges and engaging in interactions with the national treasures.
