AI empowers culture and museum sector

The culture and museum sector is seeing accelerating application of artificial intelligence, focusing on various fields such as museum guidance, immersive exhibitions, as well as the identification, protection, and restoration of cultural relics, said industry experts on Monday at a matchmaking meeting in Shanghai.

The city has been ramping up efforts in innovation in the sector in recent years. In 2018, the Shanghai Museum established the nation's first comprehensive data-based digital management platform, and in 2021, the Shanghai History Museum launched the city's first digital twin museum system, significantly improving its digital governance capabilities.

Actually, a number of immersive exhibitions at diverse museums across Shanghai have already utilized advanced technologies, bringing ancient Chinese civilization back to life while shaping new cultural experiences for visitors.
