China Opens CPC Museum

The Museum of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has opened in Beijing, the National Cultural Heritage Administration (NCHA) said in a statement on May 19.

The new museum hosts an exhibition on the history of the CPC, one of the events held in museums across China to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party, according to an NCHA press release.

The memorial of the first National Congress of the CPC in Shanghai also opened a new exhibition hall to visitors, said Gu Yucai, vice director of the NCHA, at a press conference in Beijing.

The NCHA has recommended 109 high-quality exhibitions across the country, Gu said.

To mark the CPC centenary, educational activities based on revolutionary cultural relics have been carried out and online Party history courses have been developed to help young people learn about Party history in an engaging way.

“We will also form a team to discover the stories behind the revolutionary cultural relics and share them with young people,” said Zeng Rui, head of the juvenile division of the Communist Youth League Central Committee.
