Guided by the Acropolis Museum’s archaeologist-hosts, visitors to the temporary exhibition “From the Forbidden City: Imperial Apartments of Qianlong” will catch a glimpse of rarely seen artifacts, art works and furniture, revealed to the public for the first time from the private palace quarters of the Chinese emperor  Qianlong (1711-1799), in the Forbidden City of Peking (Beijing). The exhibition galleries, designed with constructed displays and colours inspired by the palaces of the Forbidden City, hold 154 exquisite displays that reveal the distinctive personal quarters of the Emperor and illuminate a century of Chinese culture.
