Whose responsibility is it for the child to smash the museum exhibits? Parents of children, off-campus training institutions and museums, which of the three parties is more responsible?

Just saw a video on the Internet, maybe the causes and consequences and details can not be particularly clear. But incidents similar to children spoiling museum exhibits are among the more common social news in recent years. Tell us what you think about such big events.

Who is responsible? It should be said that parents, off-campus training institutions, museums, all three parties have different responsibilities.

1, when the child has caused financial losses to others, parents are obliged to compensate. "Cultural relics" are relatively special items, and how to define its value is a problem. According to the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics, cultural relics are owned by the state. This cultural relic was damaged by the child, not an ordinary commodity, and if it is broken, it is a problem of compensation according to the original price. However, the cost of restoring this cultural relic should be one of the burdens of parents.

2, the off-campus training institutions collect fees to take the children out to study, and the institution is the temporary guardian of the minors in the process of activities. In the middle, the institution that has a problem should be responsible, one is the responsibility of the child for damaging the cultural relics, and the other is the responsibility for the child's psychological trauma because of this matter. It should be said that the responsibility of off-campus training institutions is the greatest.

Off-campus training is not so simple. Especially when bringing children to the museum, it is reasonable to say that before you do a good job of preaching, tell the children about the etiquette of visiting the museum. If it is formal, you should sign a safety responsibility letter with your parents and buy the insurance you should buy. When you arrive at the scene, you should also have a visit and study plan that has been formulated before, and visit and study according to the procedure under the leadership of the teachers of the institution. Teachers have management responsibilities.

3, the museum side is also responsible. What is a museum? It's not a room with exhibits called a museum. According to the definition in the national regulations "Museum Regulations": for the purpose of education, research and appreciation, collecting, protecting and displaying to the public witnesses of human activities and the natural environment, non-profit organizations registered by the registration management organs in accordance with law. Therefore, museums have the responsibility of "protecting" cultural relics.

Regarding how to protect cultural relics, there is a lot of deep learning in this field. How to protect in the exhibition hall alone, including many aspects, how to place, the setting of the space, lighting, temperature and humidity, and security all need to be carefully considered. Even about the museum audience itself is a special research direction, and the psychology and behavior of the audience should be the content of the museum's research.

Now off-campus training institutions like to take children to museums, which is not a bad thing. And the museum itself has an educational responsibility. The museum itself is willing to show the exhibits to the audience in order to let the audience have a better experience. As a veteran museum viewer, I am grateful for this. But security must be done well.

In fact, many museums are now willing to interact with the audience. The bronze chimes at poly art gallery are naked, but the security guards are very responsible. Of course, most people don't just think about having to go up and touch it. Shoubo's Bo Ji mane made a special replica so that everyone could touch it. At least in domestic museums, the cultural relics that need to be protected will not be arbitrarily placed first. Most of them are inside the display cases. And even in the display cabinet, auxiliary measures such as brackets or fixed silk threads are sometimes used to protect the safety of cultural relics. Artifacts will not be placed in a space that is not safe in itself, completely exhibited, without any prompts, without display cabinets, without any fixing measures.

The social environment is like this, everyone's conventional psychological habits will think that there is no prompt, no display case, it is a copy, and it can even be touched. This cannot be blamed on the audience. Visitors to the museum actually need to be educated, and the museum also has the responsibility to teach everyone how to visit the museum. I think the social education teacher of the National Expo is very responsible, taking the children to the class will talk about etiquette, and it is also very orderly, and the process of the class is also designed early, and the children will not be allowed to run around.

The development of museum education in our country is currently not perfect. In a country with developed museum education, such as Japan, if you want to become a teacher who takes your children to the museum, you need to be qualified, and you must be qualified as a learner. In addition, off-campus training institutions should at least be aware of regulations such as the Public Cultural Service Guarantee Act. Learn about documents issued by the Ministry of Education such as "Opinions on Promoting Research Trips for Primary and Secondary School Students". To dare to do this without knowing anything is unprofessional.

Museums too, "museology" is the university asks. The site selection layout of the museum, the spatial design of the warehouse, the exhibition hall and the public facilities; the management, archiving and protection of the collection; the design and planning of the exhibition; the relationship between the museum and the public; the museum audience, the museum management... There's so much to learn.

Parents also have the responsibility and obligation to learn how to visit museums on their own and to teach their children how to visit museums politely. There are too many bear children seen in major museums all year round. Parents are absolutely responsible. Many parents themselves are disrespectful. There are really some people who have to enter the exhibition area and have prompts.
