From Ancient Relics to Cultural Hubs: China’s Museums Go Global 
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.”
