Over 60 museums and arts and cultural centers across Taiwan will offer free admission over the next two days to mark International Museum Day on Monday.
A total of 159 museums have also launched or will launch special events in May to showcase the theme of this year’s Museum Day -- Museums for a Sustainable Society. The Ministry of Culture said the theme was picked to encourage visitors to think about the role museums can play in promoting a less wasteful and more sustainable world.
International Museum Day is observed annually on May 18 to promote the benefits and value of museums. Thousands of museums around the world organize events to celebrate this day.
