4. Chengchi University Chou, Whei-ming The National Palace Museum in Taipei has a permanent collection of over 677,687 pieces of ancient Chinese artifacts and artworks, This is one of the largest collections in the world. The collection encompasses over 8,000 years of Chinese history from the Neolithic age to the late Qing Dynasty. Most of the collection is made up of high quality pieces collected by China's ancient emperors. In 2009, it was the 11th most visited art museum in the world.

5. Chengchi University Chou, Whei-ming The palace museum was established in 1924 in Beijing. After the establishment of the Republic, the dethroned emperor Pu-yi was permitted to stay in the Palace. The Government granted an annual allowance to maintain Pu-yi’s court and staff. For the most part, the bureaucrats of the last dynasty, including the eunuchs, were satisfied with the life style provided by the new government.

10. It was rumored that the treasures of the palace were stolen and sold to private collectors or foreign buyers. Thus, in 1924, the government forced Pu-yi to move out of the Palace. They then registered all the treasures in the Palace. The National Palace Museum was established on the location. In 1925, the Palace museum was opened to the public, until the collection was moved to Si-chuan to escape the Japanese invasion.
