Movable Cultural Heritage

Description

This image shows a mural exhibit from the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, on display at the National Art Museum of China. The original mural is part of a vast collection of Buddhist wall paintings created between the 4th and 14th centuries, located in grottoes carved into the cliffs along the ancient Silk Road. These artworks reflect the spiritual and artistic exchanges between Chinese, Central Asian, and Indian cultures. The mural shown here is a replica or display version, curated for public exhibition and educational outreach. As such, it is categorized as “Movable Cultural Heritage”, whereas the original site of the Mogao Caves constitutes “Immovable Cultural Heritage”. This distinction is crucial in heritage documentation and digital preservation. The image was uploaded as part of a cultural heritage mapping project for academic and non-commercial use.
