On October 22, the Capital Museum hosted a special exhibition titled "Radiance: Ancient Gold Ornaments from the Mengdiexuan Collection of the Hong Kong Palace Museum", in collaboration with the Hong Kong Palace Museum. Underway in the museum's Hall B, the exhibition presents over 170 artifacts and artifact sets, all making their debut on the Chinese mainland, with some displayed to the public for the first time worldwide.     

Showcasing the accomplishments of the Chinese gold craftsmanship in over 3,000 years, the exhibition traces the production, use, and spread of gold across regions including the Eurasian Steppe, the Central Plains (Zhongyuan), and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, revealing gold artifacts as powerful witnesses to the exchanges between and the integration of different civilizations. Visitors can find a broad range of exhibits in diverse designs, including jewels, belts, chariot decorations and ceremonial items that underscore exceptional artistry, spanning more than three millennia from the 15th century BCE to the Ming Dynasty. The exhibition is free to the public and will run until March 1, 2026.
