Gain insights into the life of one of China’s greatest emperors, the Kangxi Emperor XuanYe, in a rare showcase of exquisite treasures from The Palace Museum, Beijing. Assuming the throne at the tender age of eight, the Kangxi Emperor possessed wisdom well beyond his years. It was during his reign (1662 to 1722) that the Manchus consolidated their rule over China, leading to the rapid expansion of the Chinese empire.
An astute ruler, skilled warrior, keen scholar and patron of the arts, the Kangxi Emperor’s keen intellect, political acumen, diverse talents and civic virtues won him the admiration and support of his subjects. Uncover the untold secrets of the Forbidden City right here at the Asian Civilisations Museum!

Kudos to the Asian Civilisations Museum for holding such an interesting and informative exhibition on the Kangxi Emperor. The exhibits was simply breathtaking and was amazed especially with the calculators. I'm definately looking forward to many more exhibitions in future.
