Everybody in China loves Jackie Chan. And now everybody in Shanghai could get the chance to go to the world's first Jackie Chan museum. The super-popular actor has allegedly donated one of his antique Chinese homes to the Shanghai government.
Chan has seven houses from the Ming and Qing dynasties stored in pieces in a warehouse in Hong Kong. The antiques are thought to be worth over $100 million. He has already agreed to donate several houses to Singapore and the bulk of the collection to Hong Kong, his place of birth.
Presumably, the inside of the Jackie Chan museum will be decorated with memorabilia owned by the actor, including costumes and props.

Well it's pretty obvious that out of this vast collection of antiques that there very well may be some that were looted from the Imperial Chinese family way beck when.
I suggest everyone get on their high horses and start berating this opportunistic little thug for his imperialist, colonial attitude!
