China's National Museum Begins Expansion Project, Year Behind Schedule
There’s nothing like buckets of optimism to poison a massive, multi-year museum renovation, and the Chinese government is learning this the hard way. Its plan to renovate and expand the National Museum of China in Beijing got underway early last week (watch a video at CCTV if you want proof), more than a year later than planned. Turns out that dismantling and moving the museum’s collection of 620,000 items was more than a weekend job!
The renovation and expansion, which will cost the equivalent of approximately $211 million, will repair and reinforce three of the building’s wings, while new buildings are added to the eastern side.
