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.

“四個故宮”理念

故宮博物院于2019年正式提出“四個故宮”的概念，意即“平安故宮”“學術故宮”“數字故宮”“活力故宮”。“平安故宮”是基礎，“學術故宮”是核心，“數字故宮”是保障，“活力故宮”是追求，“四個故宮”的有序推進及協同發展，是故宮博物院實現使命與愿景的具體路徑。

“平安故宮”指通過行政管理和科技手段，保障遺產地、文物藏品和觀眾群體的安全。“學術故宮”指通過學術交流平臺、學術團隊建設和學術成果發表陣地，吸引國內外專家學者協同推動故宮博物院學術研究向高水平邁進。“數字故宮”指通過對數字技術的利用和數字資源的管理，實現遺產和文物資源的永久保存和永續傳承。“活力故宮”指通過挖掘文物蘊含的文化價值，創造性地轉化為展覽展示活動、文化創意產品、新媒體傳播內容等公眾文化教育資源，賦予中華優秀傳統文化現代表現形式和新的時代內涵。
