The Palace Museum is one of the must-see places in Beijing and has millions of cultural relics (文物) inside its walls. However, the museum can only show a small part of its relics to the public. Experts can’t fix as many cultural relics as they want. And more importantly, the museum can’t provide a proper service if the number of visitors goes over 80,000 every day. Why? Because there is not enough room inside the museum!

For nearly ten years, the Palace Museum has planned on its new building—a second home for the cultural relics, a second office for the experts, and a second museum for people to visit. Thirty kilometers away from the Palace Museum, the new museum will include places for the display, restoration and storage (修复和贮存) of the cultural relics. And there is even a garden. Experts can better work on the protection and restoration of the cultural relics. And more visitors will be able to see the relics and learn more about our culture and history. Although the new museum looks like a traditional Chinese building and has similar colors to the Palace Museum, it is modern and environmentally friendly.

For example, it can save a lot of energy: The walls on the south side can let in a lot of air during the summer and keep it cool; during the winter, the walls on the north side can keep the cold air out and help the building stay warm.

The construction (施工) of the new Palace Museum started in December 2022, and it may be open to the public in 2025. The Palace Museum will be 100 years old then. The new museum will surely be a great birthday gift for it.
