Preface

The development of Chinese museum sector has a history of more than 100 years. In the past decade, various categories of museums in China have made continuous progress in the construction of venues and facilities, collection conservation and research, exhibitions and free admission, meeting the needs of the public, and promoting cultural communication over the world. By the end of 2022, the total number of registered museums in China reached 6 565, ranking among the top in the world. Around 34 000 on-site exhibitions, and nearly 230 000 educational activities were held throughout the year, receiving 578 million visitors. Moreover, almost 10 000 exhibitions, and over 40 000 educational programs were launched online. Obviously, visiting museums has become the most substantial, fundamental, and lively component of the rich and

colorful cultural life of Chinese people. 40 years ago, in 1983, the Chinese Museums Association (CMA) officially joined the International Council of Museums (ICOM). Since then, we have been paying close attention to the new ideas and practices of international museum development, meanwhile making

efforts to introduce the construction and development of Chinese museums to the global community. We are pleased to see that over the past 40 years, the museum sector has increasingly grown into the major channel for cultural exchanges between China and the world, making positive contributions to foster public understanding DQG SUHVHUYLQJ FXOWXUDO GLYHUVLW\ DV ZHOO DV WR EULGJH SHRSOH·V PLQG globally.
