Step into the vibrant halls of Sichuan University Museum this International Museum Day, where ancient traditions meet tomorrow’s innovators! 🌟 Today, young minds are diving into hands-on workshops like Intangible Heritage Crafts in Action, mastering lacquerware techniques passed down through generations. Imagine mixing chemistry with art—participants use natural pigments and centuries-old tools, guided by master artisans who’ve kept these crafts alive.
🔬💡 But this isn’t just about history—it’s STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) in action! The museum’s fusion of tech and tradition sparks curiosity: 3D-printed replicas of artifacts sit beside bamboo scrolls, while AR apps decode ancient symbols. 'We’re building bridges between past and future,' says curator Li Wei. 'When a teen restores a ceramic piece using laser scanning, they’re not just learning—they’re becoming cultural guardians.'
👩🎨 From lacquer carving to textile weaving, these workshops are TikTok-ready classrooms where creativity thrives. One participant, 16-year-old Zhang Yixing, grins: 'I never thought my science project would involve 1,000-year-old patterns!' As museums shed their 'dusty' image, China’s youth are rewriting the script—one brushstroke at a time.
