Many cities worldwide have their own signature museums, and the Hong Kong Palace Museum will underline Hong Kong’s status as an international cultural metropolis. It will enable citizens to visit and appreciate long-term exhibitions of national treasures, and also promote Chinese culture to overseas visitors.
