The National Museum of China is the second largest planet, after the museum of the Louvre in Paris , a title that has not long ago, being that was recently reopened. Located in the Tian’anmen Square in Beijing , in what would be the political and historical heart of this vast country.
The National Museum of China (English link) is of course an ambitious space to extol the history and achievements of China from the perspective of government. Therefore, it recounts the history of the Communist Party of China, associated with the country’s emergence as a superpower with global reach.
The National Museum of China , performs well in large rooms, an exhibition of feats and recounts the history of the country’s bulging at the artistic, historical and social. It exhibits from photographs, sculptures, paintings to art objects, but also join roving exhibitions abroad. As expected, the museum has many omissions, such as bounded references to events such as Tiananmen Square in 1989, or a vision of history at least biased. The question for the visit, may reach the point of questioning whether this is a museum, or with an instrument of spreading.
The National Museum , also has a bureaucratic way to enter, with long queues and many controls, and a lack of services such as sodas or restaurants inside the halls. There are details that do not find too logical explanation. Above all, we must understand that the museum, as many attractions of the country, have often a sense of patriotism whose priority is to summarize the history of the country with no less than 5,000 years of history.
In total, more than 40 galleries, one million objects, references to the history of China ancient and contemporary, the dynasties have been enough to raise expectations and create hours of queuing to enter. Although not miss a gate “back” where we can enter relatively quickly, paying a very reasonable price of access.
