As China‘s leading cultural institution, the National Museum of China serves as the nation’s principal repository for the collection, research, exhibition, and interpretation of key artifacts that embody Chinese civilization. The museum functions both as the foremost guardian of China’s historical and cultural heritage, and as the country’s official cultural forum. The museum fulfills three essential missions: preserving the nation’s collective memory, ensuring the continuity of its cultural legacy, and promoting dialogue among global civilizations through mutual learning.
