Thank you for visiting the official website of the World Expo Museum.

　　The World Expo Museum is a joint venture between the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE). It will be China’s first international museum as well as the world's first and only Expo museum authorized by BIE. It is not only a cultural landmark commemorating important events in history, but also an innovative museum in Shanghai and China.

　　As a brand new future-oriented museum, the World Expo Museum has the following features:

　　It will showcase the past and future of the World Expo through multidimensional exhibits. The World Expo Museum will portray the World Expo as the “sources of innovation” and a “window to the world” by displaying the past, present and future of the World Expo. Visitor to the World Expo Museum will have a clear picture of the history of the World Expo, which has its origins in the Great Exhibition 1851 and has been a witness to the development of human civilization. In addition, they can learn about the splendor of future Expos, get in touch with the latest philosophy and ideas for global development, and experience the diversity of global cultures.

　　It employs a wide range of exhibition methods and techniques that highlight interactive participation and in-depth experience on the part of visitors. In contrast to the dominant yet static exhibition organized by traditional museums, the exhibition design at the World Expo Museum will follow the philosophy of the World Expo, and create forward-looking, innovative and interactive shows on the back of modern technologies such as the multimedia presentations, which allows the visitors to get more involved in the exhibition.

　　The World Expo Museum offers multilayered public services to help visitors participate in urban events and academic exchanges. As Shanghai’s new cultural facility for the public, the World Expo Museum will strive to strengthen its position as a public cultural platform. The museum will set up public spaces including a public library, a youth center, an auditorium, and a cloud experience center to help the public participate in global academic and cultural exchanges and launch public cultural activities.

　　The World Expo Museum is also home to the official documentation and research center of the BIE. It will launch studies on the history of the World Expo and its themes on the basis of its World Expo Library and its acclaimed expert panel, which will provide the genes for the future development of the World Expo and offer innovative ideas for the urbanization of Shanghai and China in the future.

　　I hope all of you can learn more about the World Expo Museum after visiting this official website, and contact us for further exchanges of ideas with us. With your support, the World Expo Museum will ultimately grow into a showcase of the achievements of the Expo, a window into the bright future of the world, and a cultural center for gathering and socializing.
