透視北京故宮紫禁城 THE FORBIDDEN CITY: Inside the Court of China's Emperors

A remarkable exhibition of treasures at the Royal Ontario Museum takes visitors on a journey into the heart of the Forbidden City once off limits to all but a privileged few. The exhibition also is the centerpiece marking the Museum's centennial year.
For over 500 years, the gates of the world's largest imperial palace were closed to all but the emperor, his family and servants. This stunning new exhibition invites you to cross the threshold to see over 200 national treasures from Beijing's Palace Museum -- some traveling outside China for the first time.
Twenty four Emperors lived and ruled from the Forbidden City. In the MIng Dynasty (1368-1644) the Emperors were: Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, Zengtong, Jengtai, Tianshun, Chenghua, Hongshi, Zengde, Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi, and Emperor Chongzhen. In the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) the Emperors were: Shunzhi, Kangxi, Youngzheng, Qiantong, Jiaqing, Doaguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu, and Emperor Xuantong.
The Forbidden City exhibition in Toronto runs from March 8 to September 1, 2014 at the ROM.

The ROM really does this material justice, and you've captured it nicely here. When we visited the Forbidden City in Beijing in 1984 everything was dusty and decrepit. I'm sure it is better today, but I'd be reluctant to go now due to congestion and smog. Good choice of sound BTW...

Thanks Eric. There are some amazing treasures at this exhibit, most of which are no longer housed in the Forbidden City.

I think this only offer a glimpse of some of the things at the palace museum. And do not to take as reflection of what chinese history looks like....
Qing Dynasty which ruled by Manchu were foreigners who invaded China. Chinese are Han, these Manchu are just like the Vikings/Normans who invaded Saxon in Britian; though the invaders always need to learnt from the more advanced culture (that of Han in China and Saxon in Britian) otherwise their ruleship will be at stake. But none the less, this creates a blending and breeding between culture which enriched the culture itself
