July 1: Tibet Museum opens to public for free

11:01, June 30, 2009

From July 1, the Tibet Museum will be open to the public free of charge.

"The ticket brands are printed into five colors: black for Chinese tourists, blue for foreign tourists, red for students or minor people, green for soldiers and coffee for other people," said Ma Yong, a staff worker of the Tibet Museum. Different colors for different groups will help statistical work.

For each morning and afternoon the Tibet Museum will offer 2,000 ticket brands and the number of tourists per day will be within 5,000. The staff workers for the museum will rest on Monday and from Tuesday to Sunday (including holidays), Tibet Museum will open from 10:30 am to 5:00 pm.

Dadron, vice head of the Tibet Museum, told the reporter that the first visitor on July 1 would get a certificate offered by the museum.

In addition, visitors who need interpretation can turn to the staff worker in the reception center for help.
