【T1】故宫,旧称“紫禁城”,总面积达72万多平方米。(knownas)故宫是明清时期的皇宫,也是中国现存最大、最完整的古建筑群。故宫始建于公元1406年,1420年基本竣工。在它500多年的历史长河中,曾有24位皇帝在此居住过。【T2】虽经明清时期的多次改造和扩张,故宫仍保持原来的布局(layout)。(despite)故宫被联合国教科文组织列入“世界文化遗产”名录后辟为“故宫博物院”。它是一个可移动文物的宝库,与此同时,也是国家5A级旅游景区。2012年,故宫博物院的最高单日客流量超过18万人,每年的客流量超过1500万人。【T3】它可以被视为世界上最繁忙的博物馆。(regard…as)【T4】红墙背后的许多日常生活细节已经消失在历史的长河中。(disappear)这个传统的建制通常与皇室和阶级有关,远离了普通人的生活。近年来,故宫博物院通过一系列创造性的努力,如整合数字媒体和技术等,尽量不再封闭,从而赢得了公众的广泛赞誉。所以,是不是互联网的发展改变了博物馆作为“宝库”的传统角色呢?【T5】我们如何让传统文化瑰宝在保持原有韵味的同时实现现代转变?(give…amoderntwist)
