A visitor tries an AR-enabled mirror to get a better experience at a museum. In addition, by that time, "China will basically establish itself as one of the world's major countries in terms of museums, in order to contribute China's wisdom and solutions to global museum development". "Our museums still face the problem of unbalanced development, and the system needs to be optimized," Guan Qiang, deputy director of the National Cultural Heritage Administration, said at a news conference held on Tuesday by the State Council Information Office. About 10 to 15 Chinese museums will become the focus of the reform process and will be built into "world-class museums" leading the sector's development, according to the document. "Chinese museums will more frequently enter the international arena due to the expertise of exhibition curators with a global perspective," said Luo Jing, a department director with the administration in charge of museum development.
