Taihe Forum
In 2016, the Palace Museum launched the Taihe Forum on Protecting the World's Ancient Civilization as an international exchange and cooperation platform in the field of cultural heritage. The forum is committed to discussing issues concerning cultural heritage preservation around the world, promoting exchange and cooperation in the realm of cultural heritage, and optimizing the role of the world's ancient civilizations in driving the development of human society today.
At the inaugural Taihe Forum in October 2016, the Palace Museum published the Taihe Declaration in partnership with participating countries and international organizations, with an aim to promote the protection and development of human civilizations and call for mutual respect and collaboration among countries to build a harmonious world together.
By the end of 2023, the Taihe Forum had been held six times, bringing together insights from experts and scholars from museums and research institutes in more than 20 countries, including China, Egypt, Greece, Italy, India, and Iran, creating a positive, extensive impact on global cultural heritage conservation.
