(Countering New Crown Pneumonia) National Cultural Relics Bureau: Cultural Expo Units Reopen to "No One Size"

China News Agency, Beijing, February 28 (Reporter Ying Ni) The State Administration of Cultural Heritage of China issued a notice recently to make arrangements for the reopening and resumption of work of cultural and cultural institutions during the epidemic prevention and control period. This measure does not allow "one size fits all" to resume opening up and resume work.

The notice requires that museums, memorials, and open cultural relics protection units that are clearly designated as low-risk areas can be resumed in an orderly manner with the consent of the local party committee and government. In principle, indoor closed exhibition halls, exhibition halls and other areas are temporarily suspended; various museums, memorials and cultural relics protection units in high-risk areas are temporarily closed.

At the same time, various cultural relics and museum open units can take measures such as online real-name appointments, total volume control, time-sharing, voice guidance, and digital tours to reduce staff gathering. Continue to use digital resources to continuously enrich and improve the display and content through online exhibitions, online education, and online public courses, and provide high-quality digital cultural products and services. Encourage and support the use of outdoor space to carry out scientific popularization of scientific knowledge on epidemic prevention and control through the production of exhibition boards, walls, and display boards.

The notice also proposes that, with regard to the Great Wall, the Grand Canal, the Long March, the construction of the Yellow River National Cultural Park, the protection of revolutionary cultural relics and other major cultural relics protection projects, as well as the emergency cultural relics protection projects that must be implemented, the local party committee and government can give priority to resumption of work.

According to the reporter's understanding, during the epidemic, all major cultural and cultural institutions in China launched rich online resources, such as the “Digital Cultural Relics Library” on the official website of the Palace Museum, which has collected more than 50,000 treasures such as paintings, ceramics, gold and silverware, etc. You can also zoom in and watch it several times; nine museums, including the National Museum of China, Dunhuang Research Institute, and Nanjing Museum, have launched live vibrato activities of the "Cloud Travel at Home Museum"; Gansu Provincial Museum, Suzhou Museum, and Sanxingdui Museum have launched "Museum Cloud Spring Tour" Taobao broadcast live; the Shanghai Museum distance education platform has released nearly a hundred high-quality lectures that have recently been produced; the Qinling Museum has specially launched online education activities, the Qin Terracotta Academy's Baiwen Micro-lecture Hall and the Happy Museum Micro-Classroom, which are all welcomed by netizens.
