The exhibition showcases more than 100 relics from the Palace Museum in Beijing, bringing to life the era of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) under Emperor Qianlong's reign (1736-1796). It includes dragon robes, ornaments, portraits, palace paintings and calligraphic works, memorials, and treasures such as birthday gifts, imperial instruments, musical instruments and sacrificial instruments. 

Ji Tianbin, Palace Museum vice-president, introduced the exhibition's historical background, explaining that China during the Qing Dynasty enjoyed a stable society and prosperous economy.

Russian Vice Prime Minister Olga Golodets spoke of Russian-Chinese cultural exchange and cooperation, saying that this exhibition will provide a useful platform for Russian people to further understand Chinese culture and is of great significance for deepening the Russian-Chinese cultural partnership.

The exhibition will run until May 30.
