Showcasing a rich heritage

Chinese museums currently attract 900 million annual visits. And with more museums opening up, the footfalls are set to keep growing. Wang Kaihao reports.

As vice-president of the International Council of Museums, or ICOM, An Laishun is well placed to talk about how Chinese museums have grown in the past decades.

He clearly remembers the days when he started working with the international museum community in 1986.
