2025 was a big year for the Palace Museum because it turned 100 years old. With a new look, it is ready to share more stories with the world.
The Palace Museum was once a royal palace(皇家宫殿) during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became a museum for people to visit on 10th October, 1925. Over the past 100 years, it has received millions of visitors from all over the world.
The Palace Museum covers an area of(占地) about 720,000 square metres. It is also home to about 2 million cultural relics(文物). People come to see these beautiful halls and amazing cultural relics. But as more people visit it and there are more cultural relics to show and protect, the museum needs more space. That's why the Palace Museum built its Northern Branch.
The Northern Branch of the Palace Museum has 12 high-tech(高科技的) halls and can show up to 30,000 cultural relics every year. It is expected to open around 2026. When it opens, it will help protect more cultural relics and let more people learn about China's great history and culture. It is a bridge connecting the past and the future.
