Introduction
In celebration of the 90th anniversary, the Museum is launching the special exhibition 90 Years of Collecting: A Selection of Fine Works of Art Acquired by and Donated to the National Palace Museum. The exhibition features approximately 150 sets of works among the 64,000 that had entered the Museum’s collection through acquisition or donation. Spanning from Hongshan Culture to modern times, the works include ancient jades, bronzes, ceramics, curios, calligraphy, painting, rare books, and historical documents. The exhibition not only aims to illustrate the various notions behind collecting activities during different periods of time, but also intends to express the gratitude to the generosity of our donors, whose donations complemented the Museum's existing collections and expanded the scope of scholarships.
