China has more than 4,500 museums, State-owned and private ones. And visiting exhibitions there is common for many Chinese. But 50-year-old Cao Wei says that many do not have fun during their visits.

Recalling a scene at the Geological Museum in Beijing he tells of a couple and their son, aged 7 or 8. He says that there were many beautiful displays there, but the son, after taking a hasty look at some ran away.
