故宮博物院擁有世界上規(guī)模最大、保存最完整的木結(jié)構(gòu)宮殿建筑群，收藏著各類珍貴文物186多萬件。明清皇家建筑及其豐富的院藏是人類文明與智慧的結(jié)晶，其中蘊(yùn)含的歷史價(jià)值、文化價(jià)值、審美價(jià)值、科技價(jià)值和時(shí)代價(jià)值需要我們持續(xù)不斷地發(fā)掘。如何更好地保護(hù)、研究、闡釋、展示和弘揚(yáng)故宮及其藏品蘊(yùn)含的歷史文化，始終是我們不懈探索的學(xué)術(shù)問題。

The Palace Museum is housed in the Forbidden City, the world’s largest and best-preserved wooden palace complex, which possesses a collection of more than 1.86 million priceless treasures. The imperial architecture of the Ming and Qing dynasties and the rich collections that reside here together represent the crystallization of human civilization and wisdom; their contemporary significance—including historical, cultural, aesthetic, scientific and technological values—deserve our continuous exploration. It has been our constant academic focus to explore how to better protect, research, interpret, display and transmit the history and culture contained in the Forbidden City and its collections.
