Beijing, Taipei museums set to host joint exhibition
Feb 04, 2009 By eChinacities.com

Artifacts from Beijing's Palace Museum and Taipei's "National Palace Museum" are on course to be displayed together after nearly six decades of separation. The 43-year-old Taipei museum, which has 650,000 pieces of antiques moved from the Palace Museum in 1948 and 1949, and the Palace Museum in Beijing - better known as the Forbidden City - which houses over 1 million items - have never exchanged collections for exhibition. But with cross-Straits ties getting warmer, some describe the planned joint exhibition as a meeting of long-lost twins.
