As President Xi Jinping observed, the COVID-19 pandemic once again demonstrates that mankind is a community with a shared future. By joining hands in combating the pandemic, China and friendly countries will build closer and stronger relationships, carry out more active cooperation and deliver a brighter future.Museums are palaces for sheltering and inheriting human civilization, connecting the past, present and future. At this special time when museums worldwide are jointly overcoming difficulties, the National Museum of China has initiated the project Treasure Hunt Relay: Global Museum Director’s Choice to spread the idea of building a community with a shared future for mankind, through dialogue, joint efforts and win-win cooperation. We have invited directors from sixteen museums across five continents to introduce the history of their institutions and selected objects from their collections. This project will present iconic cultural treasures for a global audience in a relay format, sharing the essence of human civilization through the Web.Though the pandemic parts us physically, we come together as one in cyberspace. This project initiated by the National Museum of China is not only a benevolent attempt to unite the museum industry to collaboratively fight against the pandemic, but also an endeavor to present the world with the cultural charm of museums, jointly expanding the social influence of museums through the Internet. We seek to provide our global audience with a chance to experience the power of culture from the comfort of their homes and gain the motivation and confidence to move toward a bright future. It is also expected that this project can provide new inspiration for long-term cooperation among museums around the world and impetus for the creative transformation and innovative development of museum resources.
