Precious cultural relics from the Rijksmuseum of the Netherlands arrive in Taiwan and will be unveiled at the Taiwan History Museum's "The Queen of All Appearances" exhibition

The National Taiwan Museum of History will launch "The Queen of Ten Thousand Appearances: A Special Exhibition on Mazu Belief and Culture in Taiwan" on October 13. For this purpose, 7 Qing Dynasty "Mazu Relics Pictures" and the 17th-century "White Porcelain Guanyin Statue of the Ho Dynasty" have been loaned to the Rijksmuseum of the Netherlands. Tai Shibo said that in order to allow precious cultural relics to safely cross the sea to Taiwan, the transportation of cultural relics can be said to be of the highest standards, and every link is extremely cautious and perfect.

Taiwan History Museum emphasized that the transportation of cultural relics this time is very particular. First, after the inspection and delivery are completed at the Rijksmuseum of the Netherlands, they are packed into special wooden boxes according to preservation requirements and transported by a professional art transportation team. After arriving in Taiwan by air, they are then delivered to Taiwan History Museum in a professional transport vehicle equipped with temperature control and air cushion equipment.

Afterwards, they must be left together with the packaging box for more than 24 hours to allow the cultural relics to adapt to the environment of the exhibition hall. Then, the escort personnel of the National Museum of the Netherlands and the conservation and maintenance personnel of Taiwan Shibo will jointly unpack the items and check the condition of the cultural relics again. After confirming that they are safe, preparations will be made for subsequent exhibitions.
