Shanxi Museum in Taiyuan, North China's Shanxi province, made a remarkable appearance at the 10th Chinese Exposition of Museums and Relevant Products and Technologies (MPT Expo) on Aug 23, aiding in the promotion of Shanxi's rich traditional culture.

Under the theme Inheritance, Innovation, Development – Shanxi Museum's New Era Journey, Shanxi Museum created an exhibition area that blended historical depth with modern technological charm.

The booth design featured a streamlined layout and an artistic interplay of light and shadow, seamlessly integrating static artifacts with modern technologies. This allowed visitors to feel as though they were journeying through history, experiencing a cultural voyage spanning millennia.

Highlighting its image as a smart museum, Shanxi Museum utilized cutting-edge technologies such as AR, glasses-free 3D, and touch screens to offer visitors a hands-on and immersive experience. This allowed the museum to showcase its latest achievements in cultural relics preservation, technological application, and educational outreach.

Visually, the museum drew inspiration from the architectural style of Shanxi courtyards, extracting characteristic elements and reimagining them with contemporary lines and touches, creating a distinctive identity rich in Shanxi's regional flavor.

At the expo, Shanxi Museum displayed over 110 cultural and creative products, including 40 new items for 2024, spanning more than 10 product series. These products opened a gateway for visitors to explore Shanxi's historical and cultural heritage.

During the event, Shanxi Museum also launched six educational activities, such as ancient architecture and bronze artifact coloring, providing visitors with interactive experiences.
