With 200+ artifacts on display, including treasures from Qing Dynasty emperors and French royalty, this collab is literally history coming alive.
Highlights? Think handwritten letters between Emperor Kangxi and Sun King Louis XIV —the OG pen pals—and dazzling Qianlong-era objets d’art that’ll make your Instagram feed pop.
\"This isn’t just about relics,\" says a museum curator. \"It’s a dialogue between civilizations.\" From silk scrolls to Versailles tapestries, the exhibit proves great cultures thrive when they connect—no matter the distance.
