The National Palace Museum holds one of the world's largest and most important collections of Chinese imperial art and artifacts, spanning roughly 8,000 years, much of it originating from the Forbidden City's former imperial collection and relocated to Taiwan in 1948-1949. Its Northern Branch in Taipei's Shilin District is the museum's main site, famous for the Jadeite Cabbage and the Meat-shaped Stone.
