Chinese Museum, Palace museum in Fontainebleau, France.
The Chinese Museum occupies the ground floor of the main pavilion, featuring lacquered walls, 18th-century folding screens, and a collection of Asian artifacts.
The museum opened in 1863 under Empress Eugénie, displaying items obtained during the Second Opium War and diplomatic gifts from Asian nations.
The collection includes 300 artifacts from the Beijing Summer Palace, primarily dating to the Qianlong Emperor period, along with items from Siam, Cambodia, and Japan.
The museum maintains regular visiting hours within the Palace of Fontainebleau complex and implements enhanced security measures to protect its valuable collection.
A ceremonial drawing room adjacent to the main exhibition space contains both Asian artifacts and European leisure items such as billiard tables.
