By carrying out innovative cooperation with governments, cultural institutions and renowned museums, XJTLU Museum not only integrates multi-party resources to develop cultural programs that combine academic depth with public appeal, but also breaks the boundaries of cultural communication through an interdisciplinary collaboration model, exploring a new path for the social service of university museums.
XJTLU CAMPUS CULTURE DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY AND PROMOTION COMMITTEE
The XJTLU Campus Culture Development Advisory and Promotion Committee established in June 2021, unites representatives from governments, cultural institutions and field experts. Its establishment is not only an initiative for XJTLU to practice the concept of “culture as the soul” and explore cultural integration for education, but also builds a platform for universities to participate in local cultural development, inherit fine traditional Chinese culture, and promote Sino-foreign exchanges.
MUSEUM UNIVERSITY COOPERATION
In 2023, Suzhou Museum held at XJTLU the plaque-awarding ceremony marking XJTLU as Suzhou Museum Cultural Education Hub, together with a co-branded cultural-creative product launch and a wisteria-planting ceremony. Shoots propagated from a 400-year-old wisteria once planted by Wen Zhengming (style Hengshan), a renowned Ming-dynasty artist and calligrapher, were planted on campus, symbolising the continuity of Suzhou’s cultural heritage.
In 2024, XJTLU and the Museum of Wu established a Cultural Education Practice Base. This initiative further strengthens in-depth cooperation between the two parties in various areas including public services, academic research, performance collaboration, digital development, and cultural and creative product development, striving to make greater efforts in exploring the future development model of “Museum Plus University”.
GOVERNMENT COOPERATION COMPETITION
XJTLU Museum actively collaborates with local government departments to explore newmodels for cultural inheritance and innovation. By co-hosting culture-themed competitions and related cooperative projects, it proactively builds a bridge for exchange and practice to facilitate the in-depth integration of industry, academia, and research.
