Beijing is a city that surprises not only with its imperial palaces and ancient streets, but also with its rich museum palette. Traditional culture and advanced technologies intertwine here, and museums turn a journey into a lively dialogue with history. Walks through the expositions cause admiration and a desire to learn more about folk crafts, literature, science and aviation.
A variety of museums are represented in the capital: the Museum of Applied Arts and the National Museum of Arts and Crafts demonstrate products of folk craftsmen and rare samples of ceramics, textiles and carvings; the Museum of Women and Children of China impresses with modern architecture and family interactions; The Beijing Art Museum at Wanshaw Temple combines religious history and artistic treasures. Technological and scientific interests will be satisfied by Sony Explora, the Museum of Science and Technology of China and the China Aviation Museum, the largest aviation museum in Asia with historical aircraft and unique exhibits. The Paleozoological Museum, the Geological Museum and the Ancient Man Museum reveal natural science collections with real fossils and skeletons, while the Chinese Print Museum and the Money Museum talk about the development of written technology and currency. The city also has private and thematic museums – from the Tea Museum and the Museum of Traditional Medicine to the Guanfu Museum of Classical Art and the Lu Xin Museum – and in the vicinity you can find interesting objects, such as the Museum in Changping and agricultural festivals in Daxing with unique local exhibitions.
Museum life in Beijing is full of temporary projects and traveling exhibitions: thematic exhibitions from university and private collections are regularly changed in the halls, retrospectives of modern art, scientific festivals and educational programs for children are held. Exhibition centers of the capital often accept international collections and specialized projects on archaeology, design and history of technology - the poster should be followed in advance so as not to miss interesting events and imported expositions. Many museums organize lectures, master classes and night programs, turning an ordinary excursion into a memorable event.
Come to Beijing to create your own museum route and experience the city’s multi-layered history, from ancient artifacts to modern interactives. The best way to see more and deeper is to use the services of private guides: local specialists will make a personal program, suggest the best routes, tell little-known stories and help avoid queues. Book a tour, plan a trip and give yourself a rich cultural experience in the museum of the capital.
