Wenyuan Chamber Imperial Library

The Wenyuan Chamber (simplified Chinese: 文渊阁; traditional Chinese: 文淵閣; pinyin: Wényuān Gé), an imperial library of the Qing dynasty in the Forbidden City in Beijing, was built in 1776. It stored numerous works, including a copy of the Siku Quanshu. The architecture style of Wenyuan Chamber was based on the renowned Tianyi Chamber in Ningbo.

At present, the Wenyuan Chamber is not open to the public.
