The past 40 years since Prince Kung's Palace Museum's establishment have witnessed its accomplishments in reclaiming lost treasures, collecting the digital data of cultural relics, and utilizing digital technology.
In 2023, the museum has drawn upon its digital resources of the former collection from the palace and those collected by eight cultural institutions worldwide.
An online exhibition featuring three-dimensional rendering with an ink-wash-style interface has been launched, bringing together repatriated cultural relics such as the lidded jade vase with patterns of a dragon educating its son, a pair of white jade boxes with bird designs, and a red-glazed water-chestnut-shaped vase, alongside those still residing overseas, for a "virtual reunion".
