Palace Museum's free entry to minors welcome

The Palace Museum has issued a notice saying juveniles will be given free entry to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Prior to the notice on Monday, entry was free for children below 6 or under 120 centimeters in height and all primary and secondary school students could visit free by appointment on Tuesdays.

The new provision is in line with the Law on the Protection of Minors, which states that juveniles should have free entry to, or be given discounted tickets for, cultural centers such as museums, art exhibitions and libraries.

Besides, the Palace Museum has not restricted entry for minors anywhere. Even two small palaces housing jewels and clocks and other rare collections will be open to juveniles.
