Can individuals apply to go to the museum to see the cultural relics that are not on display?

Individuals are not allowed to apply to go to the museum to see the cultural relics that are not on display. Official website, the National Museum of China, said that the collections in the museum belong to cultural heritage and national property, which need to be strictly protected and managed. Museums will have specialized academic research departments or cultural relics experts to provide advice or services, usually for scholars or researchers with relevant professional backgrounds or research plans.
