MORE ABOUT THE EVENT: In an in-person talk and slideshow, architectural and history expert Matthew Hu will reveal how one of the world’s best-preserved wooden palaces was built and how palace intrigues unfolded from the 1420 arrival of the Ming Dynasty until the departure of the last Qing emperor Pu Yi.
