Smart exhibition has been realized. It utilizes virtual reality (VR) technology to create multiple 360-degree real-scene effect for display in theaters, stages and gardens. High-definition 3D technology is also used to enlarge, rotate exhibit pictures. A batch of precious videos of Kunqu Opera performers in the 20th century has been successfully repaired with the help of the latest digital scan and repair technology.

The museum also serves as the Kunqu portal for global viewers. Cambridge University will endeavor to offer information on Kunqu Opera performances all around the world in the future.

On the opening day of the museum, King’s College also held a preview called “Kunqu Opera in the Eyes of International Artists”. Exhibitions of this activity originated from two performances of Kunqu opera in Cambridge in 2015 and 2016. University of Cambridge invited artists from Asia, Europe, Africa, South America and other countries to conduct impromptu painting themed by Kunqu Opera during the performances. Their artworks will be displayed at Jiangsu Art Museum at the end of 2017.
