Chris Rowley, a British teacher at SPGS International School Chengdu, explained that the students can normally only learn about such relics through images and videos in a classroom setting. Seeing the relics with their own eyes at the museum helps them to study China's history and culture more effectively, the teacher said.

Ran Jing, director of the museum's social education department, said that the exchange activity served as a bridge between the school and the museum, between Chinese people and foreigners, by telling China's stories through cultural relics.

Chengdu is constantly improving the long-term exchange mechanism by which primary and middle school students can learn more through museums.

Statistics from the municipal culture, broadcast-TV and tourism bureau show that Chengdu boasts 183 museums, taking the lead nationally. Last year alone, the city's museums carried out more than 2,700 offline and online research and learning activities, with more than 1.38 million children and adolescents participating.
