Zhang Chengming: Digital preservation breathes new life for the silk

Zhang Chengming, deputy director of the China National Silk Museum says that the museum has fully digitized its collection and established the Digital Museum of the Silk Road—a platform that now hosts over 6,000 digital cultural artifacts. These resources enable virtual curation and exhibition in an immersive space, greatly enhancing accessibility for international audiences.

By integrating multimedia and contextual digital scenes, the museum aims to enhance global understanding of silk and Silk Road culture, sparking wider public interest and facilitating cross-cultural dialogue.
