With its vermilion walls, golden roofs, axial symmetry, and waterside landscape, the northern branch of the Palace Museum, now under construction in Beijing, has been hailed as "museum in a garden".
While a modern building in both design and function, it draws on and carries forward the architectural language of the Forbidden City, creating a visual harmony between tradition and the present.
Nestled beside Yuhe Wetland Park in Haidian district, this new museum quietly awaits its future visitors.
