This paper has retrieved 979 literatures in the field of visualization of cultural heritage information between 2000 and 2020 from Web Of Science core collection. With the keys words as the unit of analysis, cluster analysis and co-word analysis as the research methods and SciMAT as the tool, it has identified research highlights and evolution paths in different periods. The research has found that research topics vary a lot in different periods. Part of the thematic studies are strongly related in sequence, the evolutionary relations between topics gradually become complex in the middle and latter period, and 5 evolution paths are presented in general. System is the main research interests and will continue to be the research highlights. Museum becomes a fundamental topic with great potential in the field after continuous integration and regeneration. 3-D visualization, with the largest time span and various research contents, is the fundamental topic in the field.
