Last September, 131 artifacts from the National Palace Museum made a trip across the world to Czechia for an exhibition spanning more than three months. Among the items on display at the National Museum of the Czech Republic was the world-famous Jadeite Cabbage, as well as intricate curio cabinets belonging to nobles and the famous painting “Along the River During the Qingming Festival.” Once the exhibition wrapped up, the director general of the Czech National Museum Michal Lukeš escorted the invaluable treasures all the way back to Taiwan. At a press conference on Thursday, he had a special announcement to make: The Czech museum will hold an exhibition in Taiwan to show its gratitude, bringing precious Czech artifacts all the way from Europe.

The National Palace Museum’s popular national treasure, the Jadeite Cabbage, has wrapped up its first journey in Europe and returned home safely. It shows just how far the power of culture can reach, allowing visitors in Europe to understand the richness of Taiwan’s culture through our museum’s artifacts.

Czech National Museum Director
The exhibition’s tentative name is “Heart of Europe: Treasury of Czech Culture.” More importantly, we will bring dozens of artifacts from our collection. They will be the most representative and iconic pieces of Czech cultural history and natural heritage.
The National Palace’s Museum exhibition “100 Treasures, 100 Stories” opened in Prague on September 12. More than 340,000 visitors were attracted to the exhibition over 110 days. But the exchange between Czechia and Taiwan wasn’t celebrated by everyone. While the exhibition was on, terrorist threats were made, warning that if the exhibition continued, there would be arson, thefts and shootings. Fortunately, nothing of the kind happened, and now the artifacts are back home in pristine condition, just in time for the Lunar New Year break.
