Museums are not only guardians of cultural heritage but also bridges between societies. In an increasingly interconnected world, international exhibition exchanges play a vital role in fostering dialogue, mutual understanding, and cultural diplomacy. They allow people to encounter the treasures of distant civilizations without leaving their own country, inspiring curiosity, respect, and appreciation for the diversity of human creativity.

The arrival of the renowned Terracotta Warriors from Xi’an to the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest offers a powerful example of how such exchanges can enrich both institutions and communities. This conference brings together museum professionals from several countries to share expertise and explore how we can collectively shape the future of exhibition exchange, reaffirming the role of museums as platforms for dialogue and learning.
