“Beijing’s Forbidden City consists of more than a thousand structures built by over a million workers—but it was off-limits to the general public for more than five hundred years when it served as the Chinese imperial palace. VMFA visitors will be able to experience this hidden world through stunning objects from the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties as well as a grand format 3-D model of the Forbidden City itself. The resources in this guide present important exhibition themes and provide historical context for key objects. Although the information and activities relate most directly to Virginia Standards of Learning for History and Social Science for grade 2 and World History from 1500 to the Present, they are easily adaptable to many levels and disciplines.”
