今年518国际博物馆日前夕，六悦博物馆迎来了特别的跨国文化探访团：“走遍苏州 Album of Suzhou”二十余位中外友人，他们参观了六悦博物馆，并亲身体验了“六悦·探趣捶丸”。
On the eve of this year’s International Museum Day, Six Arts Museum welcomed a special cross-cultural exploration group: “Album of Suzhou,” with over 20 international friends visiting and experiencing our “Six Arts · Adventure Mini Golf” (Chuiwan) activity firsthand.
“走遍苏州 Album of Suzhou”成立于2016年，十年来始终坚持一件事：带外国朋友深度探索苏州的历史文化。创始人屈老师说：“我们希望帮助在苏州生活的外国人找到认同感，进而宣传苏州文化。”这正是六悦一直践行的理念——文化不需要翻译，只需要真诚的接触。
Founded in 2016, “Album of Suzhou” has stayed true to one mission — helping foreign residents deeply connect with Suzhou’s rich history and culture. Founder Patrick Qu describes their goal: “We want to help foreigners living here find a sense of belonging and share the beauty of Suzhou.” That’s precisely what Six Arts Museum stands for — culture doesn’t need translation, just honest connection.
2026年国际博物馆日的主题是“博物馆沟通世界的桥梁”。六悦本身就是一座桥：六悦博物馆创始人杜维明先生是一位在中国生活了四十多年的美国人，他用这段时间走遍中国大江南北，收藏了十万余件民间老物件，并让它们在六悦博物馆获得了“新生”。没有冰冷的玻璃阻隔，每个人都能亲手触摸、亲身感受。真正的交流，始于指尖，抵达心灵。
This year’s theme for International Museum Day is “Museums Uniting a Divided World,” and Six Arts is exactly that — a bridge. Our founder, Mitch Dudek, an American who has lived in China for over four decades, has traveled across the country collecting over 100,000 traditional folk artifacts. Now, these treasures are alive here, accessible and tangible — no glass barriers, just touch, feel, and truly experience. True communication begins at the fingertips and reaches the heart.
在屈老师的带领下，他们走进六悦博物馆，拉开药柜嗅到草木清香，轻抚老家具的木纹、近距离欣赏彩绘门神……苏州大学菲律宾籍教师Cecilia写道：“每一件作品背后的工匠，让我们能够触摸、感受、真正体验他们非凡的技艺。”苏州动物园的季科长在朋友圈写道：“这个博物馆，没有“只能看不能碰”的规矩，每一步都在鼓励互动、触摸”。来自美国的高明宇说到：“这个周末我与”走遍苏州“一同在六悦博物馆度过了5个小时的探索时光，是一次令人叹为观止的体验。”
Led by Patrick Qu, the group stepped into Six Arts Museum, opening medicine cabinets and smelling the herbal fragrances, gently touching the textured wood of antique furniture, and getting up close to painted door gods… Cecilia, a Filipino faculty member at Suzhou University, remarked, “The anonymous artisans behind each piece enable us to touch, smell, and truly experience their remarkable craftsmanship.” Ms. Ji, the section chief of Suzhou Zoo, shared on social media, “This museum doesn’t have ‘Just look and don't touch’ rules. Every step encourages interaction and engagement.” Evans from the U.S. expressed, “the five hours I enjoyed exploring Six Arts Museum with Album of Suzhou this weekend were an awe-inspiring experience.”
在体验了博物馆顶层的“六悦·探趣捶丸”之后，来自美国的Ana说到：“那迷你高尔夫球场让我想起家乡。我们常在美国和家人一起玩迷你高尔夫。六悦是我去过最好的博物馆之一，藏品太惊人了，我一定还会再来！”
After trying the top-floor “Six Arts · Adventure Mini Golf” (Chuiwan), Ana from the U.S. said, “This mini golf course reminded me of home. My family loves playing mini-golf back in the States. Six Arts is one of the best museums I’ve visited — the collections are incredible, and I’ll definitely be back!”
“如此多的艺术、美与文化。我爱这种展示方式！”来自美国的Laura写道。当天也正值六悦博物馆举办“六悦集·博物馆奇妙节”活动的第二天，从市集的烟火气到展馆的沉浸感，再到捶丸的雅趣——文化，就这样自然流动起来。
Laura from the U.S. summed it up nicely: “So much art, beauty, and culture… I love this kind of display!” That day also marked the second day of our “Six Arts Market Festival,” where museum stalls, immersive exhibits, and the playful spirit of “Six Arts · Adventure Mini Golf” (Chuiwan) all flowed naturally — illustrating that culture is best when shared openly.
当一个公益组织持续架桥，一座博物馆选择放弃玻璃阻隔——世界与苏州的距离，便只剩一次伸手的温柔。六悦，等你来触摸。
When a nonprofit association keeps building bridges, and a museum chooses to break down glass, the distance between the world and Suzhou shrinks into something gentle — just a simple touch. Six Arts is waiting for you to experience it.
