China’s Court Museum officially opened its doors to public free of charge on Wednesday in Beijing, the Beijing Youth Daily reported. Court verdicts of cases about Zhou Yongkang, Bo Xilai and other former senior officials are exhibited in the museum.

The museum, for which preparation was started in June 2014, features three basic exhibition halls, six special exhibition galleries, three interactive areas for public law education and one video hall for law films.

The halls include one that demonstrates China’s trial history, one exhibiting the history of people's court, and a third one with the theme of “law-based governance for China’s national rejuvenation.”

About 2,000 ancient law books are also on display, some of which detail ancient Chinese laws.

Using the multimedia devices on the first floor of the two-story building, visitors can search for information and videos of different cases, including the ones for Zhou and Bo.

The verdicts of some other big cases are also displayed on the same floor.

In addition, there is a special booth displaying documents and items related to the Zhou and Bo cases, including a court mallet, the pen used by Zhou during the trial and handcuffs worn by Bo.

Wang Haibo, curator of the museum, explained that these items can serve as a caution to the public. This is also the first time these artifacts are being displayed.

The official website of the museum also launched on Jan. 4, and visitors can make appointments online or by telephone.
