Seven centuries after Marco Polo’s death, a vibrant cultural bridge has emerged in Beijing! 🗺️ The exhibition \"A Journey of Knowledge\" opened July 26 at the China Millennium Monument Art Museum, blending medieval treasures with modern diplomacy. 🎨✨
Featuring 135 artifacts from 13 Italian and 2 Chinese institutions – including rare parchments, Renaissance art, and Ming Dynasty ceramics – this showcase celebrates both the Venetian explorer’s legacy and 20 years of China-Italy strategic partnership. 🤝
Highlights? Think silk road relics 🧵, ancient weapons ⚔️, and even pieces from Jingdezhen’s imperial kilns! The collection will tour China after its Beijing run ends Nov. 24 – perfect timing for history buffs planning autumn trips. 🧳
\"This isn’t just about the past,\" says curator Li Wei. \"It’s proof that cultural exchange can still shape our world – just like Marco Polo did.\" 📜💡
