THRONE ROOM

The Palace Museum in Beijing has opened a new section housing royal furniture, Wang Kaihao reports.

This hall feels like an Ikea store, but in a Chinese royal style.

Thrown open to the public in September, Nandaku Gallery of Furniture, a new exhibition space and warehouse, is another must-see venue at the Palace Museum in Beijing - China's imperial palace from 1420 until the fall of monarchy in 1911. The museum is also known as the Forbidden City.
