China embarks on museum building binge – MSNBC

From MSNBC (link)

Most cities would be happy to open a multimillion-dollar museum for art, history or science once a decade.

Beijing has just unveiled two.

The Beijing Capital Museum, in a sleek building with an airy foyer soaring five stories high, features exhibits that include a full-scale copy of one the city’s old residential lanes.

The Museum of Chinese Film, which visitors enter through a star-shaped front door, showcases a century of cinema history from China’s mainland, Hong Kong and other Chinese communities.
