This International Museum Day (May 18, 2024), China’s iconic museums are opening their doors virtually to the world with the theme ‘Museums for Education and Research’. Think of it as a cultural Netflix binge—but with 5,000-year-old artifacts! 🎥🔍
Follow live updates from southwest China’s Sanxingdui Museum (home of those viral bronze masks 🎭), northwest China’s Gansu Provincial Museum (Silk Road treasures alert! 🐫), and the Shenyang Palace Museum in the northeast—a mini-Forbidden City vibes. 🏯
“Museums are TikTok for history lovers,” says Li Wei, a spokesperson for China’s National Cultural Heritage Administration. “They’re not just about glass cases—they’re sparking curiosity and connecting generations.” 📱💡
