Some 140 very special artifacts from the Royal Museums of Turin arrived on July 2 at the Gansu Provincial Museum, ready to headline the new exhibition there called Steel of Glory: A Knight's Life of Armour, Blade and Honor.

With the support of Jincheng Customs under the Lanzhou Customs, the collection passed smoothly through clearance — underscoring China-Italy cultural collaboration on the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations.

The exhibition, jointly curated by the Gansu Provincial Museum and the Royal Museums of Turin, offers a glimpse into Europe's chivalric heritage through bronze swords, figurines of knights and armor-clad statues.

As one of Europe's largest and most esteemed institutions, the Royal Museums of Turin is renowned for its extensive weapons archive, which rivals major royal collections.

Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997, the museum's participation lends global weight to the event.

To safeguard the artifacts, Jincheng Customs created a dedicated task force, communicated closely with the museum and tailored logistical protocols. Moreover, a 24/7 fast-track channel service and advanced video-based supervision ensured secure, efficient customs handling.
