In collaboration with Xinhua News Agency, the National Cultural Heritage Administration (NCHA) Monday launched a platform to show the best of the online exhibitions of China's museums at the opening ceremony of the International Museum Day celebrations in Nanjing, the main venue for the celebrations.
Museums in Beijing are also driving audiences to the online collections with more than 90 themed events rolled out in concert with International Museum Day, including 50 cloud exhibitions and 15 livestreaming shows.
A Beijing-based memorial hall of Xu Beihong, a renowned Chinese painter, launched an online exhibition last Friday. To the surprise of Zhang Yuqing, docent of the memorial hall, her livestreaming was viewed by nearly 2.9 million people online within 1.5 hours.
