Many of Jiangsu’s cultural venues and museums have actively offered online services while on-site visits are suspended to curb the spread of COVID-19.

The Nanjing Municipal Museum, the Jiangning Imperial Silk Manufacturing Museum and the Yangzhou Museum have launched special online exhibitions. Websites and WeChat public accounts have also been used to promote online education and livestreaming.
