Built on Beijing’s central axis, the position of the Forbidden City testifies to its significance to Chinese politics and culture. Reconstructed many times, it was during the Qing dynasty that the current layout of the Forbidden City emerged. During this time, China embraced diverse cultures, preserved ancient artefacts, commissioned new objects, and developed contacts with other parts of the world. Featuring over 100 significant works from the Palace Museum, this exhibition sheds light on the architecture and collections of the Museum, as well as the activities of the multi-cultural Qing court.

Exhibition:
A historic 17th century painting by the Italian baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi has been returned to Italy, with the active support of Eurojust. Two suspects are being investigated for fraud and attempts to illegally sell the painting of the legend of Roman Charity in Austria. They obtained an export license for the painting while disguising its origins and value.
Eurojust provided rapid assistance through its Italian and Austrian National Desks by supporting the execution of a European Investigation Order and a freezing certificate at the request of the judicial authorities in Bari. The value of the painting is estimated at over EUR 2 million.
