Yongle Palace mural art goes to Paris

"The exhibition also provides a platform for dialogue in the field of cultural heritage conservation for China, France and international communities," said Wang Ying, deputy representative to UNESCO for China. "It promotes better understanding and cooperation between countries in a multicultural context."

The Yongle Palace mural art, an ancient treasure from the 13th and 14th centuries, is considered an artistic masterpiece. The exquisite murals also have significant reference value for the study of Chinese religious culture and ceremonial systems. They have inspired the creation of some literary and artistic works in recent years.
