In 2024, it arranged almost 150 public education programs, and more than 110,000 people participated in them.
Almost 10,000 instructors and trainees checked out the museum to participate in extracurricular art education programs, getting knowledge and sparking imagination.China is integrating visual education into its nationwide strategic strategy for top quality instructional development.
