故宫今起实行周一全天闭馆 节假日和暑期除外|节假日|故宫闭馆|文物保护_新闻资讯

　　京华时报讯(记者张然)从2014年起，除法定节假日和暑期(每年7月1日至8月31日)外，故宫将正式实行周一全天闭馆。今天故宫首次全天闭馆，工作人员此前已提前贴出公告，提醒观众合理安排参观时间，以免白跑。

　　故宫已提前在午门和端门之间贴出公告，并与市旅游委提前通气，协助做好旅行社的通知工作。针对散客，故宫的官方网站也将周一闭馆的公告进行了“置顶”。同时，故宫的官方微博和微信将发出提示。

　　故宫博物院自去年4月1日起，正式实行周一下午闭馆措施。由于提前主动向观众发布闭馆信息和说明原因，所以实行每周一下午闭馆的措施得到了社会公众的普遍理解。但对于这个长期超负荷运转的世界文化遗产地，每周半天的闭馆时间不能满足文物喘息的需要。

　　从今天起，周一闭馆将由半天改为全天。闭馆期间，文物建筑、文物展品等将得以保养，安防、消防报警设备得以测试，观众服务设施得到维修，一线员工将进行集中培训，院容卫生也将得到更为彻底的清理。

　　但在“五一”、“十一”等法定节假日及暑期客流高峰，故宫不但不会闭馆，还将延长开放时间，满足观众的参观需求。
