As one of the main events arranged to celebrate the life and legacy of Venetian merchant Marco Polo on the 700th anniversary of his passing, an exhibition titled "A Journey of Knowledge – 'The Travels of Marco Polo' and its Legacy between East and West" opened to the public at the China Millennium Monument Art Museum in Beijing on July 26.

This also marks the 20th anniversary of a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Italy. The exhibition showcases 135 artifacts sourced from 13 cultural institutions in Italy and two in China.

Participating institutions include the Treccani Encyclopedia Institute and China's Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum. The diverse collection includes medieval parchments, oil paintings, sculptures, textiles, and weapons.

The collection of artifacts will remain on display in the Chinese capital until November 24, before they are taken to other museums across China.
