The Shanghai Museum will be open for 168 hours straight from Monday to Sunday during the last week of its grand exhibition, “On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt.”
The museum has introduced half-price tickets for late-night visitors during the final week. A promotion offering nearly 500 cultural and creative products at a minimum 50 percent discount has sparked a purchasing craze.
Visitors to the exhibition at night noted that the late-night show was less crowded than the daytime session, resulting in an improved experience.
It was very friendly to those who stay up late and are die-hard museum enthusiasts.
As of now, the total number of visitors to the exhibition has exceeded 2.6 million, setting a new record for the highest number of visitors to a single paid special exhibition of cultural relics in museums worldwide.
