In the future, Prince Kung’s Palace Museum will continue to build a comprehensive platform for junior students both locally and globally, providing them with access to Chinese history and traditional culture. By doing so, the museum hopes to play a more active role in facilitating cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world.
