Creativity becomes possible when passion transcends the ego, assumes social responsibility, draws wisdom from knowledge and blossoms, - either from the reality of love and peace, - or in a self-sacrificing, obsessive desire for them. Without it is either hype or an imitation.

The China Grand Canal Museum won the #ChineseMuseums Association's Most Innovative Museums in China Award because it created a museum where the collection is a historical reality brought to public insight because a museum happens wherever transfer of collective experience occurs.

What a proof that museums are changing lives! They are about the truth, dignity and doing good by ennobling the world. They are implementing new contacts, new skills, and new empathy and contribute to the peace of mind through doing justice and by building public memory trust.
