A museum serves as a crucial cultural hub for every country to inherit historical culture, collect and record the present, and inspire the future. In the current era of rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and the metaverse, traditional culture is often overlooked by contemporary young people.

With the theme "Falling in Love with a City Starts from the Museum", Curator Zhang Jingxuan shared, from five dimensions, how to help young people appreciate the unique charm of traditional culture through museums.
