The Museum of Coastal Defence will hold an exhibition marking the 110th anniversary of the birth of China’s last emperor and the 105th anniversary of the 1911 Revolution.
Running until February 13, it will show invaluable artefacts, and historical photos and videos.
Opening the exhibition today, Under Secretary for Home Affairs Florence Hui said it charts the life of Puyi who was crowned and deposed three times and lived through several critical historical periods from the late Qing through the early Republic to the War of Resistance Against Japan and the founding of New China.
Among the 70 sets of exhibits are an imported gramophone and a camera from Puyi's sojourn in Tianjin, commemorative medals, official memorials to the throne and the order of appointment from the Manchukuo period as well as his diary and smoking utensils from his time as a commoner.
The exhibition is jointly presented by the Leisure & Cultural Services Department and the Jilin Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, and co-organised by the Museum of Coastal Defence and the Museum of the Imperial Palace of the Manchu State.
