Walk into the museum to listen to historical stories, experience the charm of cultural relics in immersion exhibitions, and bring interesting cultural and creative products home... It is another International Museum Day, and the popularity of once "cold" museums continues to rise. "Going to a city for a museum" has become a trend, leading the new trend of cultural consumption.

The theme of this year's International Museum Day is "museums are committed to education and research". "A museum is a big school". How to make better use of the library resources, let more people feel the unique charm of Chinese civilization in the touch of history, and understand the "why China" in the thousands of years of thinking has become the common direction of the cultural and museum people.

Strengthen research and interpretation to make the cultural relics collected in museums alive - In recent years, museums have improved the cooperation mechanism between museums and schools, advocated further giving play to the important functions of museums as cultural people and educating people through culture, and let the public return with full load in "universities" through such forms as "museums on campus", "mobile museums" and "museum science laboratories".

Museums are halls of knowledge and bridges between the past, the present and the future. Museums fully explore the stories behind cultural relics, establish interactive research courses, and create an immersive exhibition experience... For many people, visiting museums is no longer just a "visit here", but a "wandering" dialogue with history and culture. Every encounter with cultural relics can make people more intuitively understand their ancestors' living customs, ways of thinking, and aesthetic orientation, feel the long history of Chinese culture, and experience the breadth and depth of Chinese civilization.

Broaden innovative expression, and integrate national style and national fashion culture into a better life - Since the Forbidden City has brought a cultural and creative boom to the museum, the museum has gradually innovated its "opening method", and the cultural relics with national fashion attributes "fly into the homes of ordinary people": Sanxingdui "mask ice cream", "horse riding on flying swallow" plush dolls, multi-functional minimalist shadow bookshelves, and "Thousand Miles Map of the River and Mountains" scarves have been "baked, The ancient cultural relics are revitalized, and the thick history has become lively, interesting, fashionable and diversified.

In recent years, cultural and museum personnel have been constantly thinking and practicing, doing a good job in the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, establishing a connection with the public with cultural and creative products, so as to make cultural relics "live" and culture "tide". As Ma Xiaolin, president of Henan Museum, said, "Cultural relics themselves are the" top stream "of that era. By extracting historical information and cultural elements contained in cultural relics, innovative expression and technological empowerment, ancient cultural relics can also become close friends in life."

Gather the power of science and technology to plug the wings of imagination into cultural relics - "crossing" thousands of years in the cloud to watch the precious cultural relics of digital "rebirth"; Put on ancient clothes and interact with characters in historical scenes; With AR and VR, the wonderful journey of "people traveling in the painting" has been started... In recent years, the cultural relics display and communication have achieved "seamless connection" with modern scientific and technological means and art forms, deepening the interaction between the museum and the audience.

New means and technologies provide development space for immersive exhibitions and experiences, and make the "ancient and modern dialogue" real. Whether it is extracting elements from Dunhuang frescoes to customize "Dunhuang poem scarves", "Tang Palace Banquet" revives "Tang Dynasty Little Fat Girl" by technical means, or "restores" the life scenes of Liangzhu ancestors by 3D printing, the cultural relics in the museum become "people friendly", allowing more people to continue the context in the touch of history.

From the "going out of the circle" of cultural relics expression packs to the rise of night tour museums, museums and the public seem to get closer every year. In the current era of cultural and museum boom, cultural and museum people are expected to fully explore, utilize and give play to the educational and research functions of museums, and make good use of museum resources to better reach the public with traditional culture.
