The Past & the Present of China Customs – about a Close Look into China Customs Museum
[Guest]: The Ministry of Postal Service and Transmission was established by the Qing Government in 1907, and it replaced the Customs to take charge of the postal service in 1911. Since then the Customs have no longer published any stamp. 03/27/2014 11:00:59
[Netizen: Tiantian’s Mom]: Ms. Ni, what is the area of exhibition space exactly? It is said on the internet the area is 9700 m2. Is that true? 03/27/2014 10:53:38
[Guest]: Thanks for your attention. To be exact, the usable area of the exhibition space is 8600 m2. 03/27/2014 11:01:59

[Netizen: Anonymous]: Is there any opening ceremony for the Customs Museum? Can we attend it？ 03/27/2014 10:17:35
[Ni Yun]: We won’t hold any conventional opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony that day. Instead, we will organize a special activity for middle school students in the morning and two lectures in the afternoon. One of the lectures will be given by An Laishun, the Secretary General of Chinese Museum Association, to introduce the development trend of worldwide museums, and the other will be given by Zhang Zhiyong, a Research Associate from the Chinese Academy of Social Science, to present an overview of the history of modern China Customs. If you’re interested, welcome! 03/27/2014 11:05:55
[Netizen: Anonymous]: The question about anti-burglary measures is nonsense. If you want to know the answer, how about have a try by yourself? 03/27/2014 10:48:50
