Today, a town tomb figurine in a private museum in Wuhan was smashed by primary school students, and the issue of compensation amount and compensation liability caused a heated discussion on the Internet.
Netizens who have watched the video are quite puzzled, this cultural relics can still be so pendulum?
Some netizens said that the museum can be placed as much as it wants, which is the freedom of others.
Some netizens have compared the broken cultural relics to a plate broken during a restaurant meal, and these views are completely wrong.
Although plates and cultural relics can be made with money to mark the price, but the plates can be recreated, cultural relics are non-renewable!
Museums are not private collections, they are public places, so the mainland has formulated corresponding regulations for the protection of cultural relics, and has also made legal provisions for the exhibition of museums.
First of all, as a museum, one of the conditions for the establishment of whether it is a state-owned museum or a non-state-owned museum (or a private museum or a private museum) is to ensure the personal safety of the audience!
Chapter II Establishment, Modification and Termination of Museums Article 10 The establishment of museums shall meet the following conditions:
(1) Fixed sites, exhibition rooms and places for the storage of collections that comply with national regulations;
(2) Corresponding quantities of collections and necessary research materials, and the ability to form an exhibition system;
(3) Professional and technical personnel appropriate to their scale and function;
(4) Necessary funds for the operation of the museum and stable sources of operating funds;
(5) Facilities, systems and emergency response plans to ensure the personal safety of the audience.
Fragile items like this, whether they are cultural relics or not, even in shopping malls and small shops, will not be placed in such a place that is easy to be bumped. Because the merchant is also afraid that if they accidentally hit the children, they will bear the liability for compensation!
What's more, it is during the winter vacation, which is a time when there are many underage tourists in the museum.
This incident is really lucky, the little boy was not injured, the flying debris did not hit the other children, if the children have injuries, then who will bear the responsibility?
Secondly, as a museum, the safety of cultural relics is a legal responsibility!
Article 47 of the "Regulations on Museums" Museums, libraries and other units that collect cultural relics shall be equipped with facilities for fire prevention, theft prevention and natural damage prevention in accordance with the relevant provisions of the State to ensure the safety of cultural relics in their collections.
Chapter IV of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics Collection of Cultural Relics
Article 36 Museums, libraries and other units collecting cultural relics must distinguish the grades of cultural relics in their collections, set up collection archives, establish a strict management system, and report them to the competent administrative department for cultural relics for the record.
Article 38: Units for the collection of cultural relics shall, in accordance with the needs for the protection of cultural relics in their collections, establish and improve management systems in accordance with the relevant provisions of the State, and report them to the competent administrative department for cultural relics for the record. Without approval, no unit or individual may transfer the cultural relics in the collection.
Since the museum has been opened, it should be run in accordance with the relevant provisions of the law, and the safety of cultural relics must be protected and a strict management system must be established.
The law has never stipulated that cultural relics cannot be displayed naked, and last year, when the National Museum held the "Shang Zhou Bronze Ware Special Exhibition", the three major dings were also displayed naked.
But netizens found that no, each Ding has an exclusive high platform, and the radius is far greater than the arm of ordinary people, if not intentional, children are impossible to touch, not to mention there are many security personnel nearby, but the key is that this is a fragile bronze ah!
May I ask netizens, which museum has seen the real pottery figurines placed in the corner, only a pedestal, and there is no security personnel to monitor it?
Is this the management measure of the museum's cultural relics protection? Should the competent department of cultural relics play a role in supervising and managing and checking it out?
Article 7 of the Regulations on Museums The competent department of state cultural relics shall be responsible for the supervision and management of museums throughout the country. Other relevant departments of the State Council shall be responsible for the management of relevant museums within the scope of their respective duties.
The competent departments for cultural relics of local people's governments at or above the county level shall be responsible for the supervision and management of museums in their respective administrative regions. Other relevant departments of local people's governments at the county level or above shall, within the scope of their respective duties, be responsible for the management of relevant museums within their respective administrative regions.
The cultural relics workers or cultural relics enthusiasts I have come into contact with have a reverence for cultural relics, let alone a pottery figurine, even if it is a remnant of the pottery piece, they are loved and loved!
The museum can display the cultural relics naked, but it is by no means a one-off display! While asking the audience to be in awe, did the official do it?
Knowing that underage audiences may have irregular behavior, why does the museum not have the guidance and supervision of on-site staff?
If the museum does not have enough funds and personnel, then why not put this clay figurine back in the warehouse and have to display it in the corner?
If you want to make money from the clay figurines and do not give the basic protection of the clay figurines, doesn't this mean that you want the horses to run and the horses not to eat grass?
The museum staff said that the damaged exhibits were bought from Japan for more than 200,000 yuan 9 years ago, and for the time being, when the figurine was legally exported at that time and legally acquired and returned to China (I have doubts about this).
As a cultural relics enthusiast, I don't care at all, whether the price negotiated between the museum and the parents is 1.3 million or 200,000, and my heart is that a thousand-year-old cultural relic was destroyed in this way, and all this is completely avoidable.
Most of the private museums in the mainland are not in good condition, but no matter how prevaricated they are, they should not be treated. The management negligence of the museum led to the destruction of the cultural relics as the root cause.
If this is not a warning, such incidents will surely happen again in the future! It is hoped that all state-owned/non-state-owned museums will be taken seriously.
