May 18 marked International Museum Day, with "The Power of Museums" being the theme for 2022. In China, Hubei Museum in Wuhan was the main venue for this year. Exhibits, symposiums and lectures on cultural relics were held to celebrate the day. Most of China's 6,000 museums offered free admission to the public. In 2021, China recorded more than 36,000 exhibitions and about 779 million museum visits nationwide. On this year's occasion, Chinese President Xi Jinping described museums as "important places that protect and pass on human civilizations." Museums are "bridges that link the past, the present and the future," Xi said.
