A special exhibition will be held by China's Palace Museum to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year, Xinhua reports.

据新华社报道，为庆祝即将到来的春节，故宫博物院将举办一场特别展览。

Starting January 6, 2019, the first of the twelfth lunar month in Chinese calendar, a record-breaking number of around 1,000 antique¹ items will reportedly be displayed at the famed museum.

本次展览将于2019年1月6日开幕，正值农历腊月初一，破纪录的近千件文物将在这个著名的博物馆展出。

The former record is currently² held by the 1935 International Exhibition of Chinese Art in London, where 735 antiques³ from the museum were showcased.

之前的纪录是由1935年在伦敦举行的“中国艺术国际展览会”保持的，共展出了735件文物。
