A collaborative exhibition highlighting the cultural heritage of the Museums of the Member States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (OCS) was inaugurated Wednesday in Beijing.
Organized by the Chinese Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the exhibition will be held until November 16 at the National Museum in China.
Placed under the theme of respect for the diversity of civilizations and the search for common development, the exhibition presents a total of 220 precious cultural relics from ten museums from the member countries of the OCS.
Among them are emblematic cultural relics illustrating the stages of origin, development and evolution of ancient civilizations, as well as representative cultural relics highlighting the exchanges and historical interactions between the different countries.
According to Wang Zhiqiang, a researcher at the National Museum of China, these relics not only reflect the cultural richness of the OCS member countries, but also testify to the historical process of cultural dialogue, mutual learning and reciprocal influence between these countries through the old silk road.
