HK$174.9 Million for One Yuan Blue-and-White Jar? This Museum Has 160 of Them – and It’s Stunning

One Yuan blue-and-white jar sold for HK$174.9 million at Christie's Hong Kong this spring. Now imagine walking into a room with 160 of them.

Welcome to Zhigu Tang Yuanqinghua Art Museum – the world's largest collection of Yuan dynasty blue-and-white porcelain, opened in May 2026 in Beijing's Songzhuang art district. With 160 complete masterpieces and 200 Yuan-dynasty ceramics in total, this is the first museum of its kind to gather such a staggering number of these legendary wares under one roof.

In this video, we take you inside to explore the museum's stunning "Tian Yuan Di Fang" (round heaven, square earth) design philosophy, get up close with the intricate details of these 700-year-old treasures, and discover why this museum is rewriting art history – challenging the old belief that only a few hundred Yuan blue-and-white pieces exist worldwide.

Whether you're a collector, a history buff, or just someone who loves beauty, this is a pilgrimage you don't want to miss.
