Road, and the Buddhist Silk Road.
Initiated by the China National Silk Museum, the Silk Road Online Museum (SROM)

distinctive categories: Digital Collection, Digital Exhibition, Digital
Knowledge, and Online-Curating. Over 40 museums from 18 countries have joined
the project including, the British Museum, the State Historical Museum in
Russia, the Hirayama Ikuo Silk Road Museum in Japan, the Archaeological Museum
of Thessaloniki in Greece, and the National Museum of Antiquities in
Tajikistan. The project facilitates cooperation and mutual learning and
provides an online research and curating platform for museum and university
education.
The first edition of Silk Road Week was held successfully in Hangzhou in June
2020, attracting over 200 international museums and institutions to engage in
various online and offline events. As an international cultural exchange
activity, Silk Road Week aims to mark the anniversary for the day the Silk Road
– from Chang'an to the Tianshan Corridor – was listed on the UNESCO World
Heritage List on June 22, 2014.
