Recently, at the Life Mystery Museum in Chengdu, Sichuan, a man broke the ribs of a marlin specimen. A staff member of the museum said that the museum decided not to repair the broken rib specimen, but instead to display it as an "educational exhibition on civilized viewing" to appeal to visitors to view exhibits in a civilized manner and take care of them.

As the "museum craze" continues to heat up, more and more people are choosing to visit museums to experience the context of human history and civilization. However, some uncivilized phenomena are also quietly increasing. Recently, the National Museum of China issued the "Notice on Civilized Visits to the National Museum of China," which includes requirements such as visitors must consciously undergo security checks upon entry, those who are intoxicated or sloppily dressed (including wearing overly revealing clothes, wearing slippers, etc.) are not allowed to enter, and without approval, non-visit activities such as lecturing, performing, interviewing, commercial filming, self-media live streaming, and recording are prohibited.

A museum is not merely a social venue for displaying, collecting, and viewing cultural relics, but also an important part of public re-education. For certain exhibition effects, museums will not cover exhibits due to human factors, so as not to affect the audience's immersive viewing experience. Historical civilization should be visited in a civilized manner.
Civilized viewing not only depends on the behavior and quality of the audience, but also on the exhibition methods of the museum. Advanced science and technology play an important role in civilized viewing.
AR augmented reality technology scans and sees through the interior of cultural relics, allowing viewers to travel through time and see what the exhibits in front of them looked like hundreds of years ago;
Holographic projection technology uses physical space to perceive virtual three-dimensional images, satisfying tourists' all-angle viewing;
The digital sand table integrates sound, images, 3D animation, and physical models, allowing visitors to interact with cultural relic models in an all-round way;
Smart guide technology, through intelligent guide terminal devices, enables docents to lead visitors on tours and explanations more efficiently. Visitors can also use self-service guide devices to obtain detailed information about exhibits and receive personalized recommendations.
…………
The high-tech means of museums allow ancient civilizations to be disseminated, and also constantly remind visitors to visit in a civilized manner. As a provider of digital wireless guide systems for museums and exhibition halls, Guantiao Technology hopes to promote the development of museum guides through more humanized technology in the future, and to drive cultural dissemination and civilized exhibition visits.
