[Trailer] Escape from the British Museum - Chinese web-film 2023 《逃出大英博物馆》预告片

《逃出大英博物馆》预告片 (ECNS) -- The video series Escape from the British Museum tells the story of a Chinese cultural relic escaping from the British Museum and looking for a way to return to its homeland. It consists of three episodes, with the first to be released on 8/30. In the series, the female vlogger acted the part of a rare Chinese jade teapot with a pattern of curling branches, while her male counterpart was a journalist who helped the artifact return home. The vast majority of the museum’s massive collection of up to 8 million items came from countries beyond the UK. The trustees of the British Museum have become the world’s largest receivers of stolen property, and the great majority of their loot is not even on public display. Data from UNESCO shows that 1.6 million Chinese cultural relics were stolen and collected by 47 museums around the world, among which the British Museum has the largest collection. Many were plundered during the Siege of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance in 1900.
