This hall has collected a good number of
choice stone carvings of Henan Province. It is divided into two sections: Secular Stone
Carving Art and Buddhist Statue Sculpture Art. The former displays stone carvings in three
categories, namely the stone stele of the Han Dynasty, the tomb sculptures and inscription
calligraphy carved on tablets.

The latter displays various Buddhist Statue
sculptures in chronological sequence so that visitors will have a systematic and vivid
understanding of the evolution of the Buddhist art style after Buddhism was introduced
into China. Among these exhibits, the vigorous lines and the exaggerated expression of the
Han Dynasty stele, the lingering charm of Chinese calligraphy carved on tablets and the
plump and refined quality of Buddhist statue sculptures will surely leave an unforgettable
impression upon the visitors.
