Taiwan’s National Palace Museum is about to open a newly completed renovation. “The museum houses the largest collection of Chinese art and artefacts in the world, consisting mainly of holdings of the last emperor of China, Pu Yi, who was forced out of the Forbidden City in Beijing in 1925. The holdings were then moved from city to city to avoid looting by the Imperial Japanese Army. Most of the collection was transported to Taiwan in the late 1940s by Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the former Republic of China.”
