Buddhist dance costumes from the royal court of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)

Costumes used in religious ceremonies for the royal aristocrats of the Qing Dynasty were made from silk, gold, silver, ivory, coral and turquoise. The costumes are extremely precious and are used nowadays for appreciation and historical research.

To better popularize the knowledge of antique artworks, the expo also held lectures to teach visitors how to appreciate and collect antiques such as jade, porcelain, Buddha statues and classical furniture.
