And of course, it has to be something of interest to a broad audience at home. It generally takes about two years of lead time to put on an exhibition. Mesopotamia is just one of a series of exhibitions that the National Museum of History is doing on the ten great civilizations of the world. Later we're going to do Mayan civilization, followed by ancient India, then Greece and Rome.
通常一個展覽大概兩年前就已著手準備，像這次的文明曙光，是史博館策劃的人類十大文明系列展之一，明年我們將引進馬雅文化，之後陸續還有印度、希臘、羅馬文化展，讓更多國人能親炙古文明，增進我們的歷史感與國際觀。
