Admission is free but every visitor, including children, needs a real-name, timed booking through the museum's official channels. The museum's English visitor page sets out the rules; booking itself happens in WeChat.

Step-by-step booking guide

  1. 1

    Open the museum's WeChat account

    In WeChat, search for 广东省博物馆 and open the official account's ticket booking. Complete the account's real-name verification.

  2. 2

    Be ready at 22:00

    New tickets are released daily at 22:00 Beijing time. Pick a date and time slot.

  3. 3

    Add visitorsCheck

    Up to 5 people per order. Enter each visitor's name and passport number; young children must be booked with an adult.

  4. 4

    Save the booking

    Keep the confirmation. If you can't go, cancel — repeated no-shows block the account for 90 days.

  5. 5

    Enter at the West Gate

    Use the individual-visitor lane at the West Gate during your slot, verify your ID and pass security.

Key pitfalls

  • Each account can make one booking within 14 days, with up to 5 people per order; children 6 and under cannot be booked alone.
  • Two consecutive no-shows, or three in total, lock the account out of booking for 90 days. Cancel if your plans change.
  • Enter through the individual-visitor lane at the West Gate during your time slot and present the ID you booked with.
