The Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences is one of the seven international partners of the Digital Library Cave platform, sharing digital copies of its Dunhuang collections.
"Both countries have already achieved fruitful collaboration in this field. We also plan to work together to curate a large-scale exhibition in Hungary focused on the ancient Silk Road," says Steven Back, representative of the Hungarian National Museum in China.
He notes that many Hungarian scholars visited Dunhuang in the past, and hopes to share their stories through this exhibition to boost cultural exchanges across Eurasia.
