About the Palace Museum
The Palace Museum, founded in 1925, was built up on the basis of the Forbidden City, which was the imperial palace of Ming and Qing dynasties. After 500 years of prosperity and decline, glory and disgrace, the emperors residence was finally open to public. Unique treasure in the Palace Museum is the Forbidden City, the largest and best-preserved wooden palace complex in the world. It is the pride of Chinese people, as well as the precious cultural heritage of all mankind. Nowadays, what used to be a forbidden imperial place occupies an area of 780 thousand square meters; it is not only a giant treasure house collecting precious objects of Ming and Qing imperial families, but also a vivid piece of record of the history of Ming and Qing court.
