Exhibition Halls
These halls at either side of the palace complex display traditional Chinese artwork, porcelain wares, bronze wares, watches, clocks, brush paintings, calligraphies, and other valuable treasures. Among these exhibition rooms, two are the most popular: the Clock and Watch Exhibition Hall (in the eastern part of the inner court), and the Exhibition Hall of Treasures (in the northeast of the inner court).
Collections inside the immense complex cover all the possible categories of artifacts from ancient times and they rank number 1 in terms of distinction, variety and quantity. These historical relics are of great historical and tourist value. They rekindle a sense of historical continuity among all the changes over China's over 5,000 years of civilizations. About 85% of the 1,500,000 exhibits are the arts of work from the Qing court. The ancient treasures carry the weight of Chinese tradition and are the embodiment of China's glorious history.
Relics displayed at the Beijing Forbidden City Exhibition Halls only part of the original imperial collections and another part was removed to Taiwan during the civil war and is now on display at the Taibei Forbidden City Museum.
