Investigation on the Application of Digital Humanities Technology and Practical Effects in Museums in the Beijing Area: A Case Study of the Palace Museum

This paper takes the museums in the Beijing area as the research object and selects the Palace Museum as a typical case to explore the current application situation and actual effects of digital humanities technology in the protection of cultural heritage exhibition display and optimization of audience interactive experience. Through the combination of literature review and field investigation methods this paper systematically combs through the application achievements and existing deficiencies of digital humanities technology in museums at home and abroad. The research finds that digital humanities technology has significant advantages in aspects such as digital display of cultural relics virtual reality experience and intelligent guided tours. It can effectively break through the physical limitations of traditional museum displays and provide audiences with a more immersive and interactive visiting experience. At the same time there is still room for improvement in data integration information depth and cross-media narratives. Based on the analysis of the digital practices of the Palace Museum and other museums this paper proposes optimization strategies such as constructing a three-dimensional communication system reconstructing the narrative dimension of cultural relics innovating the interactive experience mode and building a resource sharing network providing theoretical support and practical references for promoting the digital transformation of museums in Beijing and even across the country and the protection of cultural heritage.
