Hong Kong Palace Museum

Dr Nicole Chiang examines the collection of the Qing imperial household during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1735–1796), demonstrating that it was smaller but more diverse than previously believed. Dr Chiang also analyses the formation of the collection as a collective effort of many specialists, rather than the personal activity of the emperor. In addition, she argues that the purpose of collecting during the Qianlong period was not to demonstrate imperial power, but to gather information essential to the ruling of the empire.

This talk accompanies the opening exhibition ”Entering the Forbidden City: Architecture, Collection, and Heritage” in Gallery 1 at the Hong Kong Palace Museum.
