Notice | On “International Museum Day” (May 18), the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall in Fuzhou City will be open as usual on Mondays.

International Museum Day is observed annually on May 18, an initiative launched and established by the International Council of Museums (ICOM). In 1977, to promote the healthy development of the global museum sector and to encourage public awareness, participation, and engagement, ICOM proclaimed May 18, 1977, as the first International Museum Day and has since designated a theme for the event each year. On this day, museums around the world will host a variety of promotional and commemorative events to celebrate their own holiday, helping more people learn about museums and enabling them to better fulfill their social roles. The theme for International Museum Day 2026 is “Museums: Bridges to the World.”

Dear visitors:

May 18, 2026, falls on a Monday—the museum’s traditional closed day. To mark the International Museum Day, a major cultural event, our museum has decided to adjust its opening schedule and remain open as usual on Mondays.
