This exhibition presents nearly 150 treasures from the Palace Museum and the Palace of Versailles, illuminating the fascinating encounters and exchanges between China and France in science, artisanship, arts, culture, and philosophy during the 17th and 18th centuries. The objects tell stories of the special bonds forged between the two through mutual admiration and respect, which provided new incentives to expand skills and knowledge and create new art forms.
