Dubbed as "The Holy Land Tibet, Precious Deposits Most Close to the Sky", an exhibition showing Tibet's precious cultural relics in Taipei's National Palace Museum kicks off on July 1 and will end on September 19 in China's Taiwan Province.

With 3 years of preparation, 130 pieces of cultural relics will be displayed and 36 pieces are from China's mainland. The exhibition had been held in Japan which lasted from last spring to the end of May this year.

"Relics in this exhibition cross 1,500 years: the most ancient one is a statue of Buddha Sakyamuni from the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-589 AD) and the most modern one is a picture about a lying succuba of the 20th century," said Fen Mingzhu, deputy director of the museum.

These relics are from 12 museums that hold Tibetan relics such as the Potala Palace in Lhasa and the Cultural Palace of Nationalities in Beijing.
