Palace Museum bridging civilizations

The Palace Museum in Beijing, which was called the Forbidden City, is an important repository of China's 5,000-year-old civilization and traditional Chinese culture. The establishment of the Palace Museum in 1925 marked the transformation of the former royal palace into a people's museum. Since then, the museum has been safeguarding the historical treasures of China and promoting dialogue among civilizations.

Promoting dialogue and exchanges among civilizations and fostering cultural prosperity have become the common goals of many countries. Following the proposal of the Global Civilization Initiative in 2023, the Palace Museum has been developing an innovative model for popularizing China's fine culture and promoting international dialogue, exchanges and cooperation. As a cultural center, it has also been facilitating mutual learning among countries.
