Let’s come to Hohhot to experience the excitement of “checking in 300 museums in one day and spanning five thousand years in one day”!
This year’s “Museum Expo” lasts for 4 days. 394 domestic museums including the Palace Museum, the National Museum of China, and the Shanghai Museum make a collective appearance. The total exhibition area exceeds 50,000 square meters, showcasing the fruitful achievements of China’s museum industry. The series of academic activities and more than 40 public activities held in conjunction with it also open a window for the public to understand cultural heritage and get in touch with historical civilization.
At the “Museum Expo”, intelligent and digital technologies have become a highlight of the exhibition. Cutting-edge technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI) are gradually being integrated into the exhibition and management of museums, opening up a new dimension of cultural display.
During the four days, the exhibition hall was packed with people, the interactive exhibition area formed long queues, and various academic lectures, forums and cultural activities were packed with people. The discussion about the “Museum Expo” on social media also continued to rise, and various short videos, graphic reports emerged, stimulating more people’s interest in museums and cultural heritage.
“You can’t see the real thing in such detail.” In the exhibition hall of the Palace Museum, visitors can not only see the real scene of the Palace Museum through the big screen, but also “play” with exquisite cultural relics at their fingertips. The 360-degree rotating cultural relics are clearly visible on the high-resolution screen, and the text explanation of their origins and development easily brings people into the story of the cultural relics. “Currently, more than 100,000 of the 1.86 million pieces (sets) of cultural relics have been digitized, and this number increases by at least 20,000 every year.” Li Yingchong, section chief of the public education group of the Palace Museum, told reporters that the transformation of physical collections into digital collections will not reduce the value of cultural heritage, but will be more conducive to the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage.
