The Sino-French exhibition The Palace of Versailles and the Forbidden City: French-Chinese Relations in the 18th Century, which was postponed because of Covid, is now re-scheduled to run at the Palace Museum, Forbidden City, Beijing, from 1st April to 30th June 2024.
"A total of 150 items from the collection of the Palace of Versailles will be exhibited in the Palace Museum in Beijing with a focus on how ties were forged between the two nations during the 17th and 18th centuries, especially under King Louis XIV and the Kangxi Emperor with the arrival of French Jesuit priests at the Chinese court in 1685."
A bit of a long journey for most of us, but hopefully there will be more details on the internet nearer the time. Meanwhile, here is the brochure from the exhibition CHINA at Versailles. Art and Diplomacy in the 18th Century held at Versailles in 2014.
