In his speech, Liang Huimin thanked the Palace Museum for their support for the development of the cultural undertakings of Macau, and expressed his exhibition with the theme of Macau World Cultural Heritage. The first significance is that Macau has a deep relationship with the Forbidden City in history. As a transit station for Chinese and foreign exchanges at that time, Macau is the only way for Western and Western things to enter the Forbidden City. These include the famous Portuguese missionary Xu Risheng, the German missionary Tang Ruowang, the Belgian missionary Nan Huairen, the Italian missionary Lang Shining, etc. They brought the western astronomy, calendar, music, art, etc. contribute. The second significance, from the year of returning to the embrace of the motherland, Macau has lasted for more than 20 years with the Forbidden City for more than 20 years. In December 1999, the "Shengshi Fenghua -Beijing Palace Museum Exhibition" was grandly held in the Macau Art Museum. The annual exhibition of the Palace Museum in Macau has continued to this day. The cultural event of art lovers with expectations has become an art viewing garden of Macao citizens who understand Chinese culture and close to Chinese treasures, and has made a significant contribution to firm cultural self -confidence and telling Chinese stories. Today, the collection of the Macau Art Museum in the Palace Museum can introduce the cultural value of Macau's historical urban areas and the experience of the development of Macau's art development to the audience in the Mainland. This is the inheritance of the history of Macau and the Forbidden City. The words of cooperation will definitely be included in the history of art in Macau.

Wang Xudong believes that the Palace Museum has been built into the model of international first -class museums, the model of the protection of the world's cultural heritage, the leaders of the integration of cultural and tourism, and the living room of the Chinese Culture Association of civilization and exchange. It has always been the vision and responsibility of the Palace Museum. This exhibition is the first time that the collection of Macau Art Museum is exhibited at the Palace Museum. It is an important testimony of the Mainland and Macau actively linking and friendly exchanges. The Macau Art Museum in Macau Art Museum is immersed in the rich emotions of the artist, recorded the urban landscape and local customs of Macau, witnessing the historical development and changes in Macau, and reflecting the unique charm of Macau's unique charm of the blending and diverse cities of China and the West. It helps to promote cultural self -confidence in Macau and the motherland, and it will also help enhance the exchanges and collaboration between the Palace Museum and the cultural institution of the Macau Special Administrative Region. The construction of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, the economy is flesh and blood, the system is bone, and culture is the soul. We must be connected by flesh and blood, we must strengthen their bones, but also our hearts. In 2019, the Palace Museum cooperated with the Social and Cultural Department of the Macau Special Administrative Region Government to establish the "Macau Palace Museum Cultural Heritage Protection and Inheritance Center". This is also an important measure for the "Outline of the Development Plan for the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area". In the future, the Palace Museum will also deepen cooperation with the Government of Macau Special Administrative Region and related institutions in exhibition cooperation, personnel exchanges, academic discussions, cultural relics, and archeological excavations to further enhance the cultural and artistic exchanges between the Mainland and Macau; and actively integrate into the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Bay Bay. The construction of the district has continuously expanded the international influence of Chinese culture, and has made new and greater contributions to promoting civilized exchanges and mutual learning.

Since Macau returned to the motherland in 1999, under the strong support and guidance of the central government, the Palace Museum and Macau Art Museum have held special exhibitions of cultural relics in the Palace Museum in Macau for 23 consecutive years. The exhibition is the first exhibition of the Macau Art Museum in the Palace Museum.
