The joint exhibition '1420: From Nanjing to Beijing' is open to the public at the Nanjing Municipal Museum until April. It displays 340 precious cultural relics dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) that tell about the ordering by Yongle Emperor (r. 1403-24) of the relocation of the capital from Nanjing to Beijing about 600 years ago.
