2024 marks a fruitful year for cultural relics

Some museum fans may have paid multiple visits last year, but on average, every Chinese person visited a museum in the country once in 2024.

As a document released by the National Cultural Heritage Administration on Friday showed, more than 1.4 billion visits — roughly equal to the nation's population — were made to museums across the country last year, setting a new yearly record.

The popularity of such facilities among the public reflects the fruitful achievements of cultural heritage-related promotional and educational efforts in China.
