Beijing: After a long journey home, hundreds of Chinese cultural relics repatriated from Italy were finally made available for public viewing at the National Museum of China in Beijing.
The 796 artefacts are believed to have been illegally moved overseas. The exhibition runs through June.
The Chinese embassy in Italy was informed of the case in 2008, and China’s National Cultural Heritage Administration soon began the process of identifying the artefacts and checking them against export documents. The Chinese administration filed papers seeking their return and, after a decade-long judicial process, a court in Milan approved their return in November.
