铜镜在我国具有悠久的历史，从新石器时代晚期齐家文化始现一直沿用至明清时期。古代铜镜不仅可以用来整妆照容，其背面内容丰富的纹饰、隽秀的铭文更是体现了中国深厚的传统文化底蕴和古人高超的铸造技艺。
    此次展览从天津博物馆馆藏铜镜中遴选近170面珍品进行展出，并首次推出天津地区考古发掘的部分铜镜与观众见面，时间跨度从战国时期到清代。这些铜镜或造型优美、纹饰精巧、题材丰富；或铭文独特、制作精湛，基本可以反映中国古代铜镜艺术发展的概貌，让观者领略青铜文化颇具生活气息的一面。

（镜影——天津博物馆藏古代铜镜展）
The long history of Chinese bronze mirrors started from the Qijia culture in late Neolithic Age and ended till the Ming and Qing dynasties. These ancient bronze mirrors are not only useful when people need to dress or groom themselves, but also embody both the extremely fine casting workmanship and profound Chinese cultural connotation through the diversiform designs and graceful inscriptions decorated on the back.

Tianjin Museum has collected over a thousand of bronze mirrors. This exhibition selects some best that dated from Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.) to Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), and for the first time sorts out and partly displays the ones excavated in Tianjin region. These exquisitely-made mirrors on shown are with delicate decorations or special inscriptions, that could generally reflect the artistic evolvement of Chinese ancient bronze mirrors, and present the bronze culture of ordinary life before the visitors.
