BEIJING'S Palace Museum said yesterday that exhibitions without its official seal on the tickets were organized by others and it would take back rented houses from tenants and use them for customer service.
The museum was suspected of tax evasion by selling exhibition tickets without its official seal, netizens claimed this week.
The exhibitions were held in houses outside the museum, but still within the Forbidden City. Visitors complained that the shows were shabby and the tickets priced 5 yuan or 10 yuan were not printed with the Palace Museum's official seal, the Beijing News reported today.
The museum said the houses were leased to individuals who put up the exhibitions on their own. It would take back the properties in October and turn them into a customer service area.
Rents from the leased houses total hundreds of thousands yuan a year, the paper said.
