Editor's Note:
The International Table Tennis Federation Museum (ITTF Museum) will reopen to the public in Shanghai for free on Mar 31 after 10 years (2005-2014) of operation in Switzerland. The ITTF decided to relocate it to Shanghai in 2014 due to China's contributions to the development of table tennis, and it is combined with China Table Tennis Museum.
