Taiwan: National Palace Museum

Last Tuesday I got two postcards: one from Taiwan and one from Italy.

The card from Taiwan shows a jade piece from the collection of the National Palace Museum. The National Palace Museum is the most important museum in Taiwan. Most of the pieces in its collection are from the Forbidden City in Beijing and were moved to Taipei during the Chinese Civil War. As back then only the best pieces were moved to Taipei, the museum is one of the most important museums of Chinese art in the World.

A stamp with a matching tab was used on the card as well as a thematic cancellation.



Thank You very much Johanna!
