The Forbidden City "Lu Duan" is a large-scale immersive family musical produced by the Palace Museum. It tells the story of the resurrection of cultural relics in the new era, the protection of inheritance and innovative development. The protagonist Lu Duan, who is based on the Wanli cloisonné enamel incense burner in the Ming Dynasty, has the reputation of "Forbidden City Study Committee Member", is an envoy of cultural exchange, and represents the self-confidence and self-reliance of Chinese traditional culture.

"Colorful World - Immersive Experience of Grotto Art" is officially open to the public on the third-floor platform and corridor on the north side of the National Museum of China. The exhibition space for this immersive experience is about 1,500 square meters. The giant digital installation is designed with a blooming lotus as the main body. The artists combine digital painting, digital 3D Mapping images and AI algorithm technology to express, explore and interpret the artistic style and rich connotations of Kizil Grottoes, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Maijishan Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes and Longmen Grottoes with contemporary vision and unique perspectives. The "Rhombus World", "Eternal Pearl", "Oriental Smile", "Ten Directions of the Same Origin" and "Strange and Wonderful Realm" form the "Art Space-Time Experience Area", and there are also "Teaching Interactive Experience Area" and "Derivative Artwork Area", which together form a panoramic immersive experience environment, and the grotto art is given a new interpretation. The giant digital installation and the fully sensory interactive exhibition are a highlight of this experience, which opens up a new perspective for the analysis and appreciation of cave art, and also subverts the basic mode of traditional immovable cultural relics display in terms of technology and perception. Many cave art scenes have been refined and catalyzed by contemporary aesthetic concepts, some solemn and sacred, some magnificent and graceful, and gathered together across time and space. These imaginative digital art re-creations convey the aesthetic pursuit, value concept and cultural spirit carried by ancient Chinese cave art, allowing cultural heritage to continue with new artistic language based on the original creation, and radiate new vitality in the changes of the times. Grotto temples are an important part of my country's ancient cultural heritage and a shining pearl in the long history of Chinese civilization. They have unique historical, artistic and scientific values: "Cultural relics and cultural heritage carry the genes and blood of the Chinese nation and are non-renewable and irreplaceable resources of China's excellent civilization. We must bring more cultural relics and cultural heritage to life and create a strong social atmosphere for inheriting Chinese civilization." The National Museum of China has always attached great importance to the protection, inheritance, display and promotion of China's excellent cultural heritage, and actively explored new ways and new carriers for the revitalization and utilization of cultural relics. I sincerely hope that this immersive experience will promote the further improvement of the display and utilization level of grotto temples, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, continuously enhance cultural awareness, strengthen cultural confidence, promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and make new and greater contributions to building a cultural power and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

The digital art exhibition "Dunhuang Super Universe" is jointly organized by Yiyun and Dunhuang Painting Academy. It integrates digital technology from the perspective of contemporary youth and leads the audience to travel through the universe of thousands of years of ancient rhyme and modern fantasy. The exhibition cleverly integrates the essence of Dunhuang murals and grotto art, combines the outstanding creative achievements of multiple generations of painters from Dunhuang Painting Academy, and rejuvenates Dunhuang culture through digital interactive experience. Here, Dunhuang brings the audience not only caves, murals, and caissons, but also a touchable and immersive journey; each cave is transformed into a universe of faith containing history, culture, and art. We will stroll in the virtual caves where light and shadow intersect, dance with flying fairies, listen to the melodious ancient music, and feel the stories and emotions behind every stroke up close. This is not only a visual feast, but also a deep dialogue between the soul and culture, allowing the beauty of Dunhuang to transcend the boundaries of space and time in the universe in a contemporary language and touch the heartstrings of every modern person.

On March 30, Taikang Art Museum's new exhibition "Unfinished Time: Chinese Contemporary Art 1980s×1990s" was held as scheduled. The exhibition was hosted by Taikang Art Museum and supported by Taikang Insurance Group. It brought together 42 Taikang collection treasures, presenting the creation of Chinese contemporary art in the 1980s and 1990s, paying tribute to the creators of artistic change, and at the same time paying tribute to the creators of various industries who have dared to change since the reform and opening up through art works. “Unfinished Time”: Diverse Explorations in Chinese Contemporary Art in the 1980s and 1990s Themed “Unfinished Time”, this exhibition aims to break through the constraints of the traditional linear view of history. Taking the emotions and feelings in artworks as the entry point, it leads the audience back to the 1980s and 1990s to witness the artists’ exploration and practice of “modernity” during the development of China’s market economy. In the 1980s and 1990s, the booming market economy profoundly changed people's lifestyles and values. Art also took on a diverse look, no longer following a single "progressive" logic, but moving towards diversity in the constant tug-of-war between tradition and avant-garde, ideal and reality. Whether it was social life or artistic practice at the time, the exploration of "modernity" was still ongoing, and the transformation had not yet reached its end. Therefore, Chinese contemporary art in the 1980s and 1990s also belonged to a kind of "unfinished time."
