Forbidden City items travel outside China for first time

March 9, 2014, Sunday |

Print Edition

THE Royal Ontario Museum is holding a stunning exhibition to invite visitors to cross the threshold to see 250 national treasures from Beijing’s Palace Museum. The exhibition runs through September 1. The exhibits are mostly calligraphy, painting, ceramic crafts and cloth arts during the mid to late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Among them, there are 80 pieces that are traveling outside China for the first time.

Compelling characters, engaging stories, and family adventure frame these extraordinary objects as you journey from the gates of the outer court, through the inner court and into the emperor’s private spaces, revealing the everyday lives of all those who paid a price to live inside the Forbidden City. This exhibition is one of the 100-year anniversary celebration activities of the Royal Ontario Museum.
