Capital Museum.

Address: No.16 Fuxingmenwai Street, Xicheng District, Beijing Tickets: Free, reservation required Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 (closed on Mondays) I visited the Capital Museum on the first day of the National Day holiday. The museum is large and not crowded. I entered from the basement and first saw the "Soul of Russia" art exhibition. The exhibition features 56 selected paintings from the collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery in Russia. If you like the combination of Eastern and Western cultural characteristics, you can come and see. I quite like the curatorial style of the exhibition. No photography is allowed in the exhibition hall. I took the escalator to the first floor and entered the special exhibition commemorating the 870th anniversary of the founding of Beijing - "Glorious Central Axis" special exhibition. The exhibition is divided into three parts: magnificent central axis, cultural central axis, and eternal central axis, showing the beauty of Beijing's central axis. Before entering the exhibition, I was curious about how to present such profound and complex content? As soon as I entered, I was attracted by the digital exhibition method. The 16-meter-long central axis sand table and the three-dimensional projection bring a variety of light and shadow, allowing people to instantly travel to the central axis and "immerse" in the exploration of the history and changes of the central axis. The concrete form of expression makes it easy for people to accept and understand. The open exhibition hall displays many maps, photos, unearthed cultural relics, etc., in chronological order, showing the planning, construction, improvement and development of the central axis, and also showing the historical process of Beijing from the original settlement to the capital. The second and third floors are the general history of Beijing. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the historical process of Beijing told by digital exhibition methods. Then, cultural relics, models, etc. are used to display the ancient charm, historical culture and eternal charm of Beijing. The fourth floor is the old Beijing theater exhibition. As soon as I walked in, there was a big stage, and there were tables and chairs to sit under the stage. But there are no real people singing on the stage, you can watch the big screen. There are some old objects related to drama behind the stage. The fifth floor is the "Time and Victory" - Old Beijing Folklore Exhibition. With seasonal customs, human customs, and material changes as the main content, it displays the clothing and traditional food of old Beijing, which is a very Beijing-style exhibition hall. There are many exhibition halls, it is recommended to visit the exhibition halls you like with focus.
