$450 million Hong Kong Palace Museum opens with trove of Forbidden City treasures

Beijing's Palace Museum, located in the heart of the Forbidden City, contains the world's largest collection of Chinese art, spanning nearly 5,000 years of history. Now, more than 900 of those treasures are on display at the new Hong Kong Palace Museum -- a "gift" from the central government to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the city's handover from British to Chinese rule.
