Baizhang Town in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, is breathing new life into idle farmhouses by converting them into vibrant art and culture spaces. This innovative initiative aims to foster community engagement and preserve local heritage.
To support this transformation, the township's local authorities are offering subsidies and incentives to attract \"rural museum partners.\" These partners help turn formerly unused buildings into thriving museums that host exhibitions, salons, and a variety of cultural and creative activities.
These museums not only serve as cultural landmarks but also provide villagers with additional income opportunities. By organizing events and attracting visitors, the museums contribute to the economic upliftment of the community.
Looking ahead, the local authorities plan to strengthen collaborations with esteemed institutions like the Liangzhu Museum. These partnerships are expected to unlock new avenues for economic development by leveraging museum resources, further enhancing Baizhang Town's cultural and economic landscape.
