Welcome to the Silk Road Virtual Museum

Professor Richard T. Griffiths, Emeritus professor International Studies (Leiden), Research fellow Institute for Asian Studies (Leiden), was one of the first contributors to the Diplomat Magazine since 2013 publishing articles related to European and Dutch diplomacy. In this interview he talks about the creation of the Virtual Museum of the Silk Road. The project is directed by VirtualMuseum360, produced by 3D Virtual Exhibition pioneers V21 Artspace and supported by the IIAS from January 2023. The mission of a virtual museum is to encourage people to explore cultures along the overland and maritime sea routes between the Far East and Europe. A virtual museum is always open. It requires no travelling. It is never crowded. You can come, go, and revisit as you please.
