Following a thorough evaluation of submitted cases from 60 museums across China, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Regional Office for East Asia recently announced 16 selected Chinese museum cases for their innovative practices in accessibility and inclusion. The beneficiaries of these museums' practices are diverse and include individuals with disabilities, children and neurodiverse populations. 

Featuring institutions such as the Palace Museum, the Memorial Museum of 1911 Revolution, Liuzhou Industrial Museum and Liangzhu Museum, the selected sites have various focuses, but share one endeavor - making feasible and detailed accessibility plans that cater to a broad range of visitors requiring accessible services.
