THE Museum of the Communist Party of China (CPC) opened its doors in central Beijing in July 2021, just three years after the CPC central committee commissioned it.
The magnificent displays of paintings, photographs, artefacts, moving images and the life-size reconstruction of a battle between anti-fascist soldiers and Japanese occupation forces cover almost 100,000 square metres.
When the international delegation visited the museum on July 1, the vast halls and corridors were already thronged with visitors from China and abroad, including beautifully dressed parties of schoolchildren.
