“Chinese authorities have closed a museum which contained scores of fake exhibits, including a vase decorated with cartoon characters billed as a Qing dynasty artefact, state-run media reported Tuesday. The facility, built in northern China’s Hebei province at a cost of 540 million yuan ($88 million), has ‘no qualification to be a museum as its collections are fake’, a local official told the Global Times newspaper. It had been closed, the paper said, while its founders have been placed ‘under investigation’ after local residents accused them of wasting money.”
