Topic3 Museum crowds wait six hours to see ancient scrollThe Palace Museum is on the headlines again. An old royal vat in the Museum has been defaced by a couple who carved their names on it to display their love.

But after having complained about bad tourist behavior for so many times, we're not going to do that today. We're going to talk about art.

The appearance of a rare artistic treasure in Beijing over the weekend resulted in crowds waiting in line for six hours at the Palace Museum.
