We must provide them with more opportunities to understand and appreciate traditional Chinese culture. Meanwhile, through this museum, we also hope to foster the interaction of diverse cultures across the world. In addition to displaying the treasures of the Palace Museum, we also display the art and civilizations of other countries. We would want to see interaction across cultures."
