FRANCE-CHINA (1700-1806) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In October 1700, the Amphitrite<\/em>, the first French ship to trade with China, returned to Nantes, a major colonial trade port, where it sold its cargo of tea, silk, porcelain, mother-of-pearl, lacquered panels\u2026 This first arrival of objects and products generated a veritable fascination for Chinese culture. The Opium Wars of the 19th century, culminating in the destruction of the Sum\u00admer Palace in Beijing in 1860, tipped the economic balance of power to the benefit of the Europeans and contributed to the decline of the Middle Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibit Silk and Cannons <\/em>sheds light on Sino-French relations between 1700 and 1860, and explores the changing attitudes towards the Far East, which in turn provoked fascination and rejection, through prestigious objects and documents on loan from ma\u00adjor museums including the Guimet Museum, a partner in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition was recognized as being of national importance by the Ministry of Culture and Communication\/Di\u00adrection des patrimoines\/Service des mus\u00e9es de France. As such, it received financial support from the French State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
