An official from the Cultural Relics Bureau of Beijing revealed during a
meeting on Friday that around 10 museums in the capital city are facing
closure after years of poor management.

According to the Beijing Daily, official Liu Chaoying made the remark
during an annual meeting on museum management. Liu said that these
museums hadn't updated the content of the exhibitions for years. They
were also unsuccessful at self-promotion and therefore were incapable in
making profits.

Most of the unqualified museums were established by enterprises
themselves. They were also separated from their builders since the system
reform of state-owned enterprises. Some of them had been closed to the
public for a long time. However, Liu Chaoying said that some of the
museums still have historical value and she called on society to make
efforts to help them stay.

According to the Measures for the Administration of Museums, which came
into effect last year, a registration of the city's museums will begin
soon. Liu Chaoying said they would not publicize the name of the 10-odd
museums until the registration work is done.
