A new set of guidelines is unveiled to regulate China's vast museum sector, but experts say more needs to be done.
In China, finding a museum has seldom been a problem. But other than the big and established ones, many fail to be taken seriously by visitors because they don't have the resources to manage their collections or haven't been officially registered as museums.
Now, change is afoot. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang set the course to make the country's museum sector less chaotic. He has signed China’s first regulation of museums. The law is effective on March 20.
The new rules demand all museums to have collection reservation areas, complete management systems and approval documents.
take seriously v. 重视，认真对待 该短语的主动、被动语态都很常见，前者为take something/someone seriously，后者为something/someone be taken seriously。

How many times do I need to tell you? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It must be taken seriously. If you want to live a long and healthy life, start eating breakfast today! （我需要跟你说多少次啊？早饭是一天当中最重要的一餐，必须重视。如果你想健康长寿，从今天开始好好吃早饭！）
