Mao Zedong Memorial Hall wins national honor
2024-05-20
This basic exhibition is the only commemorative thematic exhibition in the country that introduces Mao Zedong’s life achievements, thoughts, and personality. In 2023, as a key project to commemorate the 130th anniversary of Mao Zedong’s birth, Mao Zedong Memorial Hall was upgraded in exhibition content, exhibition forms, educational research, and digitization based on new theoretical research results, visitors’ education needs, and newly-discovered Mao Zedong’s cultural relics, in a bid to solve problems such as visitor congestion and equipment aging.
In the new exhibition, 10 theme scenes pertaining to major events in Mao Zedong’s life have been set up, and more than 200 adjustments to the preface, introductions and the layout of major events have been made.
It is worth mentioning that 255 pieces and sets of important cultural relics and literature materials, as well as 10 original art works have been added in the exhibition, including a color painting of fingered citron painted by Mao Zedong when he studied at Hunan First Normal University in 1913 and his revised manuscript of “Serving the People”.
These objects were carefully selected from newly-discovered cultural relics, highly matching the exhibition theme, and most of them are first displayed to visitors.
Since the reopening of the new exhibition in December 2023, it has received an average of 12,000 visitors per day. The content and story details of the online exhibition reproduced at a ratio of 1:1 through digital technology have been expanded. As of the end of April 2024, more than 1 million visitors had visited the online digital exhibition, with an average daily number of more than 8,000 viewers.
