Prince Kung's Palace Museum turns museum day into cultural bridge

On International Museum Day itself, more than 350 students from seven schools collaborated on large-scale art installations inspired by the mansion's architectural aesthetics, combining painting, collage and layered structures to reinterpret traditional culture through contemporary art.

The museum also hosted a livestreamed "cloud classroom" linking students in Beijing and Xi'an in Shaanxi province. Through multicamera virtual tours and interactive lessons, students explored traditional painted decorations, garden rockeries and conservation techniques while participating in hands-on experiments and discussions in real time.

As a community-oriented museum rooted in the Shichahai neighborhood, Prince Kung's Palace Museum aims to continue expanding educational access and encouraging wider public participation in cultural heritage preservation.
