Tianlongshan Caves

The Buddhist cave temples in Tianlongshan (“Heavenly Dragon Mountain”) were created during the Eastern Wei (534-550 C.E.), Northern Qi (550-577 C.E.), and Sui (581-618 C.E.) dynasty. Many of the sculptures from the caves are now in museums around the world. The Tianlongshan Caves collection focuses on the caves and their dispersed Buddhist sculptures.
