Museums call for shared research

Historians, scholars and curators of the world's major anti-fascist museums and memorials gathered in Beijing on Wednesday, the 67th global Human Rights Day, and called for the creation of a world union to enhance exchanges and cooperation and share information for research.

The representatives made the call during the two-day International Seminar on Human Rights and Museology.

Addressing the theme "Drawing lessons from history, cherishing peace and protecting human rights", more than 100 scholars, historians and curators of various anti-fascist war museums and memorials from 15 countries and regions, including China, Russia, France, Brazil and Belgium, gave presentations at the seminar.
