The Louvre and the Forbidden City are two representative symbols of Eastern and Western civilizations. This film uses these two museums as carriers, cuts through the perspective of local audiences, emphasizes the parallel and coexistence of civilizations, and integrates the understanding of different civilizations. It is reflected in the display and appreciation of artworks, and reflects the museum’s responsibility for the sharing and promotion of human civilization.

该片以艺术史为线索，根据卢浮宫的馆藏分类，分别演绎两河流域，古埃及，古希腊，古罗马，中世纪，文艺复兴，巴洛克，洛可可，古典主义和浪漫主义等主题。每一集都在展现西方艺术的同时向观众呈现不同时代中国的艺术；每一集中都有一位重量级的中国当代艺术家或艺术史研究者与西方同行进行相互探讨，达到不同文明之间对话的创作实践。
