About the Palace Museum:
Completed in 1420, the Palace Museum was once the imperial Forbidden Palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Located on the central axis of Beijing, the museum houses the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world. The Palace Museum is responsible for the conservation and maintenance of the architectural structures and historical sites of the Forbidden Palace, as well as the collection, research, and exhibition of art and artifacts that form the foundation of classical Chinese cultures, which once formed the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing. The permanent collection currently holds over 180,000 pieces, including paintings, frescoes, prints, calligraphy, ancient texts, and stone rubbings. All are invaluable pieces of cultural heritage for all humankind.
