How long does it take to visit the National Museum of China?

The National Museum is very large, with four floors, divided into two areas, north and south. It has complete facilities and a restaurant for eating and resting. There are naturally many collections. In addition to regular exhibitions, there are often special exhibitions (charges apply). The time required for playing mainly depends on whether you want to take a quick look or take a closer look. It is recommended to watch it selectively.

If you want to take a quick look at all the collections, it will take about half a day. If you only want to see a certain exhibition, it will take about one or two hours. If you just take a preliminary look around and scan everything, it will take about 1-2 hours. If you want to see it in detail, you need a whole day because there are too many cultural relics and treasures. If you come across a cultural relic you like, it will take a lot of time to take pictures, so you should at least arrange half a day to visit the National Museum.

It is recommended to visit from top to bottom, and this method can be used for all museums.
