Building a Safe, Academic, Digital, and Dynamic Museum

Building a Safe, Academic, Digital, and Dynamic Museum

In 2019, the Palace Museum introduced the idea of building a "safe, academic, digital, and dynamic museum". A "safe museum" is the foundation, an "academic museum" is the core, a "digital museum" is the guarantee, and a "dynamic museum" is the ultimate pursuit. Currently, the Palace Museum is working to turn the idea into reality in an orderly and coordinated manner, which represents the specific path to realize its mission and vision.

Building a "safe museum" refers to ensuring the security of the cultural heritage site, collection, and visitors in the museum through administrative and technological means.

Building an "academic museum" refers to fostering academic exchange platforms, academic research teams and academic results publishing channels to attract both Chinese and foreign experts to jointly lift the museum's academic research to a higher level.

Building a "digital museum" refers to achieving permanent preservation and sustained inheritance of relic resources through usage of digital technology and management of digital resources.

Building a "dynamic museum" refers to putting a modern face and fresh perspectives on fine traditional Chinese culture by creatively exploring the cultural value of relics and transforming them into public cultural and educational resources through exhibitions, cultural and creative products, and new media content.

“四个故宫”理念

故宫博物院于2019年正式提出“四个故宫”的概念，意即“平安故宫”“学术故宫”“数字故宫”“活力故宫”。“平安故宫”是基础，“学术故宫”是核心，“数字故宫”是保障，“活力故宫”是追求，“四个故宫”的有序推进及协同发展，是故宫博物院实现使命与愿景的具体路径。

“平安故宫”指通过行政管理和科技手段，保障遗产地、文物藏品和观众群体的安全。“学术故宫”指通过学术交流平台、学术团队建设和学术成果发表阵地，吸引国内外专家学者协同推动故宫博物院学术研究向高水平迈进。“数字故宫”指通过对数字技术的利用和数字资源的管理，实现遗产和文物资源的永久保存和永续传承。“活力故宫”指通过挖掘文物蕴含的文化价值，创造性地转化为展览展示活动、文化创意产品、新媒体传播内容等公众文化教育资源，赋予中华优秀传统文化现代表现形式和新的时代内涵。
