Museums have also adopted popular tools and high-tech to enrich cloud-based event experiences.

A group of museums such as China National Film Museum, Memorial Museum of Lao She and Overseas Chinese History Museum of China hold livestreaming broadcasts while some others like China Media Museum adopt VR technology to provide vivid cloud touring experience.

"Even though we are in a special period of COVID-19 epidemic prevention, we still connect our audience closely with the beauty of cultural relics under the help of VR tech," said Pan Li, head of the China Media Museum, which began construction in 2009 and opened to the public in October 2012.

Owned by the Communication University of China, CMM focuses on the development of the media industry in China.

"Items in our exhibition are not something ancient. Most of them are decades old, but they can evoke memories and emotions of the visitors because it always related to people's life in some way, which I believe is the most important meaning of museums," he said.

"Going to museums have become a fashion nowadays as the public have growing need for cultures."

To enhance communication with the audience, the Capital Museum will launch "Me and Museum" educational projects, soliciting works such as video, audio, painting and photography from the public, and the winning ones will be exhibited at Capital Museum.
