Benchmark of Future Museums

  Since the opening of the museum in 2007, after thirteen years of innovative development, Jinsha Site Museum, with its profound cultural connotations and special location advantages, has come out of an innovative path in terms of curatorial concepts, integration of culture and tourism, dissemination and display, and construction of the Jinsha system, craving out its way of innovation with Jinsha characteristics and giving a brand-new connotation to the "cultural gene" of the history of Chengdu. 

Integration of the Site and the City and the Tradition and the Future

  As stated in the award speech, Jinsha Site Museum could win the award because of the symbiosis between the site and the city, the integration of the tradition and the future. Relying on the unique archaeological site and distinctive cultural connotations, Jinsha Site Museum not only leads the audience to look back at the history and perceive the world through the most important cultural function of display and exhibition, but also pioneers a new way of interpreting archaeological science and a new concept of curation called "co-planning and co-creating", allowing audiences of different ages, identities and educational backgrounds to participate in the construction of the museum's value.

Science and Technology for Development

  Jinsha archaeological site will celebrate the 20th anniversary of its discovery in 2021. It has a history of more than 3,000 years, and is actively embracing the latest cutting-edge technology. As one of the seven experimental units of "smart museum" in China, Jinsha Site Museum, based on the brand-new positioning of "culture + science and technology", has taken the lead in launching the integrated management platform of 14 subsystems in China, such as the visualization system for display. At the same time, through augmented reality, virtual reality and other digital technologies, the public can experience Jinsha culture and perceive ancient Shu civilization in a more ingenious, economical and convenient way.
