The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum presents Xinjiang's rich legacy of the Silk Road to all with a vast array of exhibits, interactive installations, and digitalized displays.
Established in 1959, the museum covers over 49,600 square meters and boasts an impressive collection featuring the region's history as the hub of the ancient Silk Road and diverse cultures.
The carefully arranged exhibits aim to thread Xinjiang's history with different stories, historical figures, and topic sections to better enlighten common visitors.
"We have presented related historical events, figures, and stories that reflect ancient Chinese values in a way that is more understandable for the public," said Yu Zhiyong, curator of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum.
The museum also used digital technologies to bring history to life, and interactive installations for both children and adults to learn Chinese history with fun.
"By now, we have digitized over 20,000 artifacts in our collection, transcending time and space to let the public enjoy them in all their splendor. Through a series of interactive digital experiences, we have truly breathed a new life into these cultural relics," said He Jia, vice curator of the museum.
In addition, creative cultural products of the museum also bring relics and stories within the museum to a wider public with lively modern designs.
"We see each creative product as a key to opening the door to Xinjiang Museum's history and culture. By applying various technologies, we recreated the enduring history of the Silk Road's western regions. Static artifacts, texts, and stories become dynamic displays and performances, for our visitors," said Guan Yi, head of the museum's Cultural and Creative Department.

China supports the UN Security Council in fulfilling its responsibility for maintaining international peace and security and in taking all necessary actions to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza, alleviate the humanitarian disaster, and implement the two-State solution, Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the United Nations said on Friday.
Protecting the safety of medical facilities in armed conflict is a bottom line under international humanitarian law, Fu said at the UN Security Council briefing on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question, following last week's attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital, the only remaining comprehensive medical service institution in northern Gaza.
The Israeli forces launched an attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital, forcibly detaining medical and care personnel, causing the deaths of a large number of people, and plunging the hospital into a sea of fire, according to Fu.
Without sufficient evidence proving that medical facilities have become hostile facilities, deliberately launching large-scale and indiscriminate attacks against medical institutions that cause casualties of innocent civilians violates international humanitarian law and could constitute war crimes, said the Chinese envoy.
China expresses its grave concerns over and strong opposition to this, he said, urging Israel to effectively abide by its obligations under international humanitarian law, stop turning hospitals into battlefields, stop launching attacks on medical facilities, ensure the safety of medical institutions and personnel, and release all medical personnel detained.
"A certain country repeatedly claims that a ceasefire agreement will soon be reached, yet the reality is continued killing and death. I wish to stress that differences in negotiations should be bridged by political will but not be filled with innocent lives. Winning the war does not necessarily mean securing peace, and resorting only to military strength does not guarantee lasting security," Fu said.
China calls on Israel to lift restrictions on humanitarian access to Gaza, stop implementing and revoke promptly the bills against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), and guarantee safety and facilitation for UNRWA and other humanitarian agencies to carry out their assistance, he said.
