The director of China's Palace Museum, Zheng Xinmiao, arrived in Taiwan Monday to attend a press conference for an upcoming joint exhibition with Taiwan's National Palace Museum (NPM). Zheng will take part in the press conference together with his Taiwanese counterpart, Chou Kung-shin, and the two are expected to reveal the concrete results of exchanges between the two museums over the past six months and their planned exchanges next year. The exchanges between the two state-run museums began formally in February when Chou made an 'ice-breaking' visit to the Palace Museum in Beijing, the first time the heads of the two museums had ever met. The visit concretized their cooperation in putting together an exhibition on the Yongzheng Emperor -- the fourth emperor of the Qing dynasty -- scheduled to open at the National Palace Museum on Oct. 7. The Palace Museum in Beijing loaned 37 pieces from its collection on the Chinese emperor while the Shanghai Museum contributed two others to the exhibition titled 'Harmony and Integrity: The Yongzheng Emperor and His Times.' In all, 246 pieces from the Yongzheng period of 1722-1735 will be featured in the exhibition, which runs until Jan 10, 2010.
