The Vancouver Art Gallery hosts The Forbidden City:
“Inside the Court of China's Emperors” offers a
glimpse of an iconic and long-hidden era of Chinese
cultural history. For five centuries Chinese emperors
called the Forbidden City (1416–1911), located in the
heart of Beijing, their home. With only the emperor,
his imperial household and special visitors allowed
inside its walls, this immense palace captured the
world's attention for its power, wealth and mystery.
Selected from the vast collections of Beijing's Palace
Museum, the exhibition showcases nearly 200
precious works from the Forbidden City that have
rarely been seen outside of China. These exquisite
examples from Chinese cultural history date from as
early as 500 CE to the early-twentieth century and
include such treasures as paintings, ceramics, gold
and silver wares, jade, cloisonné, bronzes and textiles.
This fully escorted tour includes a top quality 11
course lunch to remember at local favorite Toko
Restaurant, admission to The Vancouver Art Gallery
