The Palace Museum is building a 100,000-square meter new exhibition hall in Beijing's suburbs.
This is exciting news for global visitors and especially for enthusiasts of Chinese culture and history, who will be able to enjoy the Palace Museum treasures at a more spacious and modern venue in the near future.
The new branch, mainly designed for the display, restoration, preservation and research of cultural pieces, is backed with an investment of 2.1 billion yuan ($309.58 million). The construction of the branch formally kicked off in December, after 10 years of preparations.
