In October 2021, Chengdu Museum participated in the "Reconstructing the Future 2021 Chengdu British Heritage Week" hosted by the Foreign Affairs Office of the Chengdu Municipal People's Government, the Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism, and the Cultural and Education Office of the British Consulate General.
Global, air dialogue. Under the normalization of global epidemic prevention and control,
How to address multiple challenges?
How to adjust and improve their functional positioning?
How to achieve broader exchanges and cooperation?
How can we better promote the sustainable development of cultural heritage?
This is not only a problem that our museum needs to explore, but also a common proposition of museums and cultural heritage institutions around the world.
In this event, we gave our own careful thinking, and also had in-depth discussions with many museum celebrities to find more possibilities.
