Art-lovers in Beijing can rejoice now that 13 museums, including
the first-class Beijing Capital Museum, will now admit 200 visitors
for free every Wednesday.
Visitors simply need to call the museums in advance and the
lucky first 200 callers will receive free admission.
Apart from the Beijing Capital Museum, other participating
institutions include the Memorial Hall to Painter Xu Beihong, the
Big Bell Museum, Beijing Art Museum, The Culture Exchange Center,
Beijing Ancient Coin Museum, Beijing Stone Carving Art Museum,
Memorial Hall to Writer Lao She, the Zhengyangmen Gate, Dajue
Monastery, Beijing Miaoying Monastery, Confucius Academy and
Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum.
This is the second discount museums have offered the public this
month, after 18 parks and museums announced they were canceling
ticket admission and letting visitors in for free.
