New exhibition features Forbidden City in stamps

China Daily  

The Palace Museum in Stamps: Special Exhibition of Stamps on the Theme of the Palace Museum lifted its curtain in the Zhaigong Gallery in the museum with a display of over 1,500 stamps in 52 sets, which have been released since the founding of New China in 1949. The Forbidden City, officially known as the Palace Museum today, was China's imperial palace from 1420 to 1911. The first stamp featuring the Forbidden City was released in 1953, which portrays a turret of the former imperial palace showing splendor of the architecture. In 1998, a set of stamps featuring Taihe Dian -- the highest-level architecture within the compound of the Forbidden City -- and the Louvre in Paris was co-released by China and France.
