India is all set to host the G20 summit on September 9-10, 2023. As the current chair of the G20, the country will showcase the heritage of all countries through a digital museum.
This museum will include at least one significant artifact or digital representation from each country. It will be a unique “phygital” museum that will combine digital and physical exhibits.
The second level of the Bharat Mandapam will showcase this physical exhibition of iconic artworks from all 20 member countries and 9 guest countries of the G20. It will be known as the Cultural Corridor.
The Media Information Office states: “Culture Corridor – G20 Digital Museum is an international project organized for the G20 leaders’ summit in India. This exhibition will be unveiled at the Bharatmandapam, the venue of the G20 Leaders’ Summit, on September 9, 2023, and will be open to the public after the Leaders’ Summit”.
“Conceived as a legacy of the G20 project, this Cultural Corridor – G20 digital museum is the first cooperation project of its kind that sought the participation of G20 countries in the creation of a ‘museum in the making’. The Cultural Corridor will serve as a powerful platform for promoting understanding and appreciation of different cultural expressions, for knowledge exchange, inclusiveness and equality, and for fostering a sense of common identity. The Culture Corridor will include iconic and significant cultural objects and heritage of G20 members and 9 invited countries,” is added.
Physical exhibits will be on display at the summit venue in New Delhi, India. Digital exhibits will be available online. The G20 Digital Museum is an excellent way to promote cultural understanding and appreciation among member countries. It is also a way to showcase the world’s rich and diverse cultural heritage.

What is the theme of the G20 summit in 2023?
The theme of the important event in India is “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” which translates as “One Country, One Family, One Future”.
The theme emphasizes global unity and India’s commitment to sustainable development and its belief that the world’s economies must work together to protect the planet.
The theme is drawn from the ancient Sanskrit text of the Maha Upanishad. The Upanishads are a collection of philosophical texts that explore the nature of reality and the relationship between humans and the universe. The phrase “One Earth, One Family, One Future” affirms the interconnectedness of all life on Earth and the need to work together to ensure a sustainable future for all.
The G20 summit will focus on a number of issues related to sustainable development, including climate change, food security and poverty eradication. G20 leaders will discuss ways to promote investment in clean energy, protect biodiversity and reduce pollution. They will also discuss ways to improve food production and distribution and to ensure that everyone has access to affordable and nutritious food.
