Mystery of The Forbidden City Part 1/3

The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the mid-Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing, China and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost five centuries, it served as the home of the Emperor and his household, and the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government.

Built from 1406 to 1420, the complex consists of 980 surviving buildings with 8,707 bays of rooms and covers 720,000 square metres. The palace complex exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.

Since 1924, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork and artefacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Part of the museum’s former collection is now located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Both museums descend from the same institution, but were split after the Chinese Civil War.

The Art Scene on the Lower East Side

For more videos from the New York Sun, please feel free to check nysun.com/video

The geographical center of the New York art world is always moving. In the 1980s and early 1990s, the hub of the gallery scene was in Soho. In the late 1990s, as Soho was taken over by Banana Republics and Armani Exchanges, the scene shifted uptown to Chelsea.

Today, with real estate values in Chelsea rising sharply, more galleries are staking out a place on the Lower East Side. The new New Museum of Contemporary Art, which will open December 1 on Houston and the Bowery, provides an anchor for the burgeoning scene, and a growing number of trendy hotels, bars, and restaurants make what was once a gritty neighborhood freshly chic.
