“The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: The Forbidden City and the World—Cultural Encounters” thematic exhibition is jointly organised by the Hong Kong Palace Museum and the Palace Museum, and solely sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust.

Positioned within a global context, the exhibition presents the Forbidden City as a vital platform for dialogue between China, other parts of Asia, and Europe. Spanning more than 600 years of history, the Yuan (1271–1368), Ming (1368–1644), and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties, the exhibition weaves a rich tapestry of interactions in diplomacy, trade, science and technology, philosophy, and craftsmanship, inviting visitors to appreciate the rich cultural legacy embodied by the Forbidden City.

In this exhibition, Design and Cultural Studies Workshop participated in the production of a large-scale opening video, illustrating how the Forbidden City was shaped by its encounters with the world through animation.
