An interactive exhibition in Tianjin has become a big hit through its use of virtual reality technology.
May 18 marks the International Museum Day. China officially joined the International Council of Museums in 1983 and has organized International Museum Day events every year since then.
Promising a more multi-dimensional and interactive experience, Tianjin Museum has launched a new exhibition named "Shining Treasures" with virtual reality technology, showcasing its most famous exhibits.
"With this equipment (of VR glasses), we can gain a deeper understanding of its historical origins and creation," said a visitor.
Tianjin Museum proudly displays a priceless bottle from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), adorned with imported enamel color materials. Porcelain like this was used by the Emperor at the time, making this exhibit one of the museum's most famous.
The exhibits may be priceless, but they've also inspired a number of affordable products. Tianjin Museum has created a number of cultural and creative products based on exhibits, including jewelry, stationery, fridge magnets, ice cream and lollipops.
