Museums are echoes of history that transcend time — and space. They preserve invaluable historical, educational treasures, and a platform for connecting the past, present and the future. No wonder they have been attracting an increasing number of people of late, people who are eager to experience culture firsthand. To meet the diverse and customized needs of visitors, some new approaches, models and content have emerged, leading to a surge in "museum tourism".

The widespread application of digital technology has not only reduced the maintenance costs of cultural artifacts but also drastically reduced the geographical and material limitations of cultural resources, providing visitors with enriched experience. For example, the Henan Museum has explored innovative ways. From experiencing traditional Chinese dress complete with makeup and hairstyling to taking photos with valuable artifacts, and enjoying ancient music and dance performances, you can travel through time and connect with the past up close through a variety of interactive activities.
