Sino-Dutch Cultural Cooperation
China is building museums in a steady pace of an average of 100 new museums per year. The Sino-Dutch Museum Management Training follows from the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that was signed in 2014 by the Ministers of culture from both countries. A large group of curators and managers from significant Chinese museums will attend the training programme which includes lectures, workshops and fieldwork on topics like collection management and exhibition development. Participating public museums include the National Museum of China, the National Art Museum of China (NAMOC), the recently opened Tianjian Art Museum, the Nanjing City Museum, the Guandong Museum of Arts and private museums like Shanghai's YuZ Art Museum, Sifang Art Museum in Nanjing.
