National Museum of China Beijing

The National Museum of China is located in Tiananmen Square, Beijing. The museum was opened in 1959 and houses two museums, the Museum of the Chinese Revolution and the National Museum of Chinese History, which were merged in 2003. In 2007, the museum was closed for major repairs, and in 2011 it was reopened. 250 million euros were spent on the reconstruction of the building, the museum area tripled and today the National Museum of China is equipped with the latest technology and is the most visited museum in the world.

On its colossal territory there are about 620 thousand valuable exhibits. The collection of relics exhibited here covers the history of the state for more than 5,000 years. While walking around the museum, you will make an amazing journey from prehistoric times to the age of high technology. The facade of the National Museum of China is periodically used to set the clock, counting down the time to the most important events of the state. Thus, these clocks counted the time until the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong, Macau, the onset of the Olympic Games and the International Expo.
