October 10, 2010 is the centennial anniversary of the 1911 Revolution, which overthrew the Qing dynasty and ended more than 2,000 years of absolute monarchy in China. The exhibition raised the curtain on a special Hong Kong Series of commemorative activities, and chronicled extensively one of the pivotal events in modern Chinese history, including the historical background of the 1911 Revolution, revolutionary philosophy and organization, popular support, the establishment of the Nationalist government, the abdication of the Qing emperor, and the ushering in of a new era for the Chinese nation.
