A new set of guidelines is unveiled to regulate China's vast museum sector, but experts say more needs to be done.

In China, finding a museum has seldom been a problem. But other than the big and established ones, many fail to be taken seriously by visitors because they don't have the resources to manage their collections or haven't been officially registered as museums.

Now, change is afoot. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang set the course to make the country's museum sector less chaotic. He has signed China’s first regulation of museums. The law is effective on March 20.

The new rules demand all museums to have collection reservation areas, complete management systems and approval documents.
