On International Museum Day, a dynamic global movement is underway to return lost or stolen cultural relics. Experts say these treasures are more than just art—they're keys to our shared history and identity.
Dr. Louis Ng, director of the Hong Kong Palace Museum, recently spoke with CGTN about how museums around the world are stepping up support for repatriation. Institutions are blending tradition with technology, using digital archives to preserve and showcase artifacts in ways that fit our mobile, fast-paced lives 📱.
From ancient sculptures to century-old ceramics, each relic carries a story of cultural evolution. For many in South Asia and Southeast Asia, where diverse heritage is a point of pride, the renewed effort to reclaim cultural treasures resonates on a deep, personal level 🏺. This global push builds bridges between modern innovation and age-old traditions, uniting communities across borders 🌏.
As museums and cultural custodians collaborate, the future of heritage preservation looks bright. It’s a time of revival and revolution—one where safeguarding our past helps shape a more connected and informed tomorrow.
