Museum of Liaoning province is the largest museum in Liaoning province. Although it is considered an integrated museum, I could feel that it is different from the Naitonal Museum of China.The culture of my province is more specific. People who visit this museum get to know a particicular culture in a more specific way.
The first thing I saw in the museum is the voice guide counter. Visitors can rent a voice guide machine at the counter. This is quite common in big museums in China, but in this case, it reminded me that technology is everywhere, even in a place where only ancient objects are being displayed.
It was also interesting to actually see technology and ancient art existing at the same place. In the glass box where ancient antiques were being displayed, there was a machine as shown in the picture above, monitoring the temperature and humidity in the box. CCTV cameras were everywhere to keep the art works safe. 
This museum is not so technologically advanced as the National Museum of China. Yet we saw modern technology everywhere. Hence I had this strong feeling that technology is already part of culture. In the future when more modern technology is being applied, there should not be any conflicts.
The problem of the two cultures may no longer exist in the future, as advancements in technology is merging the culures into a whole.
