The exhibition presents nearly 200 artifacts from the Mughal Empire, one of South Asia's most powerful and culturally rich dynasties, which ruled from the early 16th to the mid-19th century. Founded by Central Asian conquerors of Turko-Mongol descent, the empire unified large parts of the Indian subcontinent and became a hub for art, trade, and cross-cultural exchange along the Silk Road.
All the artifacts are being displayed in China for the first time, and over ten pieces are making their global debut. Visitors can see royal weapons, ceremonial objects, intricate miniature paintings, jeweled accessories, palace furnishings, and richly patterned carpets. Immersive displays, custom lighting, and carefully designed exhibition spaces reveal the fine craftsmanship and opulent aesthetics of each piece, allowing audiences to experience the grandeur of the Mughal courts.
