Original title: 100 museums reopened in Beijing

The goal of building Beijing into a "city of museums" is quietly advancing. On the 17th, the reporter learned from the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics that by the end of last year, the total number of officially registered museums in this city had reached 197, with 14 new museums. At present, about 100 museums have been reopened.

Among the new museums added last year, 5 are state-owned museums and 9 are non-state-owned museums (private museums). According to the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics, there are many new types of museums, and a number of museums focus on Beijing flavor. For example, Jingzuo Rosewood Museum, Yanjing Eight Wonders Culture Museum, Erguotou Wine Museum, Imperial Kiln Golden Brick Museum, etc. are all museums reflecting Beijing's history and traditional culture. At the same time, private museums have become the absolute main force of new museums in recent years.

Beijing Caibai Gold Jewelry Museum uses the public space in the mall to tell the story of the past and present life of the jewelry ore. Yang Na, the deputy curator of the museum, said that the museum has nearly 1000 pieces of gold jewelry, mineral crystal and insect pearl exhibits.
