After 3.5 years, the 2.5-billion-yuan expansion of the National Museum of China is winding down, and the museum plans to reopen in late March this year, according to Guangming Daily.

The museum nearly tripled in size from 65,000 square meters to almost 200,000 square meters, and the number of exhibition rooms increased to 49, including an Asia Room, Africa Room, Europe Room and America Rooms for international exhibitions.

Last February, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage transferred more than 390,000 cultural relics to the National Museum, bringing its total collection up to 1.05 million.

The current National Museum has already become one of the top museums in the world. It is not merely a public place for exhibition but also an important location that provides high-grade cultural enjoyment for the public. It will bring great spiritual pleasure for Chinese and global visitors.

The National Museum will join hands with three major German museums, including the Berlin National Museum, the Dresden National Art Collection Museum and the Bavarian State Picture Galleries, to hold its first exhibition after reopening. The theme of the exhibition is "Illuminative Arts," and a large number of famous art works of Germany will come to China by then.
