Museum Built to House Stamp Exhibition

  The World Stamp Exhibition is coming to China for a second time. The annual event is held in various cities around the world from year to year. Next year it will take place in Luoyang in central China's Henan province. And a brand-new museum is going to make its debut for the event.

  The design of the museum building is in the shape of a cauldron...often used in the rituals of ancient China. Luoyang served as a capital city for 13 dynasties over the millenniums. All of its venues will be dedicated to the 2009 World Stamp Exhibition, which will be held between April 10 and 16.

  The exhibition is expected to draw an estimated 600 thousand visitors from home and abroad. The World Stamp Exhibition is under the patronage of the Federation of International Philately. It is an influential event with a hundred-and-fifty-year history.

  After the stamp exhibition, the museum will be used to house some one thousand cultural relics unearthed around the city.
