BEIJING, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) — The Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum of Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) recently opened in a test mode, local newspaper Xinjiang Daily reported.
The museum, located in Urumqi (the capital of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region), covers approximately 13,000 square meters, 4,800 square meters of which are dedicated to exhibition space. The museum's collection comprises approximately 3,000 exhibits (sets), demonstrating the deep roots of ICH in Chinese civilization from various perspectives.
The museum houses four permanent exhibitions introducing visitors to the ICH used during festivals, in everyday life, in folk rituals, and across various regions of China. Five thematic exhibitions are also planned, focusing on such representative forms of ICH as silver and goldsmiths, jade carving, carpet weaving, pottery, and traditional music, to clearly demonstrate the process of transmission, inheritance, and innovative development of each skill within the context of cultural interactions along the Silk Road.
According to the museum's deputy director, Wang Kaiyu, the establishment and opening of this museum is an important step in strengthening cultural development in Xinjiang and promoting the systematic protection of intangible cultural heritage. It provides a high-level platform for the presentation and popularization of ICH throughout Xinjiang and the country.
