The National Palace Museum[note 1] (Chinese: 國立故宮博物院; pinyin: Guólì Gùgōng Bówùyuàn) is a museum in Taipei, Taiwan. It has a permanent collection of nearly 700,000 pieces of Chinese artifacts and artworks, the majority of which were moved from the Forbidden City imperial palace as well as five other locations in mainland China during the ROC retreat. These collections had been transferred to several locations before finally being established in 1965 at its present location in Shilin, Taipei. The museum was built between March 1964 and August 1965, with many subsequent expansions making it one of the largest of its type in the world, including a southern branch located in Taibao, Chiayi.
The museum's collection encompasses items spanning 8,000 years of Chinese history from the neolithic age to the modern period.[3] The National Palace Museum shares its roots with the Palace Museum of Beijing, whose extensive collection of artwork and artifacts were built upon the royal collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Since the end of World War II the Peoples Republic of China and Chinese Communist Party have requested that all Chinese artifacts and artworks in the museum be returned to the Forbidden City in Bejing. The request has been consistently ignored, with the Government of Taiwan asserting the collection is best protected in Taiwan[4]. This ongoing feud between the two states continues to be a major point of contention, and a key driver of the Chinese Communist Party's intention of reunification with Taiwan.
