That's "Lantian Man" a variant form of Homo Erectus dating from about 1.15 million years ago. Neat!!!
There were a number of paleolithic tools on display and plenty of neolithic artifacts. I liked this guy. He's more than 4,000 years old.
And there was a wonderful collection of bronzes and ceramics from historical times. Here area few examples:

I was particularly interested in this representation of the Buddha. All of the figures in the group are idealized except for one, standing off to the side. I wonder why he was portrayed naturally.
This was another place where I could have lingered for a long time, but again there was much to do and we had to be on our way.
