The Art of Armaments in Qing China

Description

Featuring nearly 190 artefacts, The Art of Armaments – Qing Dynasty Military Collection from The Palace Museum exhibition includes weapons, armour, and ceremonial items which will be presented in four rotations – each lasting around three months until January 2026. 

Through six thematic sections, this display vividly highlights the development of military organisation, technology and artistry during the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911). Amongst these remarkable artefacts are four first-grade national treasures, which deepen understanding of historical military practices while celebrating the intricate artistry behind each of their creations.
