2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Palace Museum in Beijing.
Using archival and recent photographs, this exhibition will present the transformative 100 years of the Palace Museum from an imperial palace complex to a public institution that serves as a museum, research centre, cultural tourist attraction, historic palace complex, and World Heritage Site.
In a century marked by profound transformation in China, the Palace Museum stands not only as a symbol of cultural heritage, but also as an active participant in the nation’s modernisation and development. This exhibition is jointly organised by the Palace Museum and Oriental Museum.
