Recently, CSCEC began the construction of the new building of the Sanxingdui Museum. With the construction area of about 55,000 square meters, the new building is expected to open to the public in the end of 2023. After the construction, the new building will systematically house existing collections, as well as cultural artifacts newly unearthed from the pits of the Sanxingdui Ruins.

Located in the park of the Sanxingdui Museum, the Sanxingdui Museum of Ancient Shu Cultural Heritage covers an area of 44,000 square meters and a construction area of about 55,000 square meters and that is five times the size of the museum's current building. The construction of the new building covers an area of 47,800 square meters including 6,600 ones for a visitor center.

The newest smart site technology will also be applied in the construction process of the new building from design, construction to completion of the project. For example, more high technologies including artificial intelligence, sense technology and virtual reality will be implanted to buildings, machinery, staff's wearable devices, as well as entries and exits to promote the development of the museum.

In addition, the project team will use the smart site system to make eight digital management and control modules including "production, technology, quality, safety, materials, green construction, on-site services and engineering data" and realize all-dimensional and digital supervision to staff, machinery, safety and quality progress at all times and in every place.

The new building will perform functions of a smart museum, fully realize smart museum operation, management, services and preservation through cutting-edge technologies including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, internet of things and big data, and provide tourists and the museum itself with a unified and complete digital supporting platform both online and offline.

In the future, the new building will strengthen visitors' interaction and experience in virtue of 3D simulation, VR touring and intelligent explanation, become a part of the museum's intelligent ecosystem chain integrating cultural artifacts, ruins and smart cities, and expose visitors to the splendid ancient Shu civilization.
