As a national key art museum, the National Art Museum of China is open to the public with free admission since Mar. 2, 2011. The age of free admission marks another new progress in the history of the museum.
In recent years, the National Art Museum of China was free to the visitors during major holidays for important exhibitions, such as Donations from the National Art Museum of China in the past five decades during the Chinese New Year of 2011. The number of the visitors reaches more than 10, 000 daily. Such facts prove that the implementation of free admission is popular with the public.
Based on the rules of free tickets targeted at elementary and secondary students and senior citizens, the National Art Museum of China has taken a series of measures to facilitate comprehensive free admission.
Visitors are able to ask for free tickets through online and from the museum. Visitors are required to book the tickets on www.namoc.org one week in advance and get the free tickets at the museum with valid identity cards. The website and the museum at the spot provide 2000 tickets and 4000 tickets respectively every day.
A number of hi-tech facilities equipped at the museum are expected to help the implementation of free admission and digital service.
