This paper uses SFA model to measure the museum service efficiency in China and finds that both museum employees and cultural relics have a positive impact on museum visitors. That is, museums can attract more visitors by hiring more employees or displaying more cultural relics. Besides, the museum service efficiency in China showed an upward trend from 2010 to 2015, which means that museums now can serve more visitors with less input.
