As the Spring Festival approaches, the Shanghai Museum has carefully created a "cultural feast" with profound heritage and full of annual flavor. Especially in the first winter vacation after the "double reduction" policy landed, for children, "New Year in the museum" has gradually become a New Year custom, which can not only unlock the new play of the Local New Year, but also promote traditional culture and establish cultural self-confidence. This year's Spring Festival, what are the interesting and interesting exhibitions in the Shanghai Museum? Let's take a look!
Looking for "New Year's Taste" in the Museum
Bats, sika deer, peaches, magpies... Entering the Shanghai Municipal History Museum, the exhibition hall displays a variety of auspicious birds and beasts, patterns and ornaments, "Fulu Shouxi Beautiful Life - Chinese Auspicious Culture Special Exhibition" presents Chinese the natural concepts, survival wisdom, aesthetic interests, spiritual landscapes and the yearning for a better life from generation to generation from the dual perspectives of art history and natural history. The Shanghai Museum's "Year of the Tiger – The Spring Festival exhibition of the Year of the Tiger in China and Japan" is very popular, and the museum conveys the beautiful meaning of warding off evil spirits, disaster relief and blessings by exhibiting cultural relics related to tigers. The Chongming Stove Culture Museum displays the history of the stove god, stoves, stove flowers and ancient customs of offering stoves, adding a strong pyrotechnic atmosphere to the Spring Festival.
In addition to the theme of The Spring Festival culture, before and after the Spring Festival, many museums also give full play to their own characteristics and present different and wonderful. In order to welcome the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the Shanghai Sports Museum has created a temporary exhibition with the theme of the Winter Olympics and ice and snow sports, telling the story of the Winter Olympics through three units: "Chasing Deer and Ice Arena Zhengrong", "Gathering Heroes of Winter Dreams", and "North Ice South Exhibition, Snow Yao Shencheng". The Shanghai Jewish Refugees Memorial Hall records the history of mutual assistance between the Jewish nation and the Chinese nation, and conveys the beautiful hopes of the two peoples for friendship and tolerance, yearning for peace, and establishing a community with a shared future for mankind.
"Art Museum in the Mall" - APSMUSEUM Art Space, "Museum in the Old Factory Building" - Shanghai Changfeng Trademark Poster Collection, "Shanghai Top 20 Most Concerned Excellent Buildings" - China Securities Museum, "The World's Third Typewriter Museum" - Lu Hanbin Typewriter Museum and "Museum Hidden in the Garden House" - Shanghai Symphony Music Museum are all charming and worth seeing.

From "Fancy Punch card" to "Immersive Experience"
During the Spring Festival and winter vacation, in addition to encouraging children to enter the museum, how to use museum resources to realize the transformation of museum education from fancy punching and flower watching to deep learning has become a problem worth thinking about.
"How to translate the Expo slogan, how to design couplets for the hometown, how to arrange national treasures for the future World Expo, and what kind of future concept car to design..." Many children walk into the World Expo Pavilion with a study list, there are many interesting topics on the study list, and children can use the study list to link the knowledge in the classroom with the knowledge of the museum and solve problems in the real situation.
A parent who brought his children to visit was very satisfied with such an "immersive museum study": "The study list can well integrate subject knowledge and library resources, children can learn knowledge while listening to the explanation, parents only need a little guidance, children can get a lot of fun from it, which is greater than the harvest of looking at it again." ”
At the China Art Palace, the study list also plays an important role. Through the study list, with "the new life of Shanghai art" as the main line, the children organically connected the milestone works in the history of Shanghai's art development collected in the museum, and felt the historical changes and the progress of the times behind the art works under the guidance of the study list.
In the Qian Xuesen Library of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, with the "Interstellar Navigation Academy" as the background, three theme study lists that integrate the characteristics of physics, mathematics and science guide the children to enter Qian Xuesen's world, feel the development process of China's aerospace industry, and realize "traveling to middle school, learning in research, thinking in research, thinking in thinking, research and learning at the same time, and knowledge and action are one".

Make the taste of the year worth savoring
The design and research and development of these study lists was initiated by the Chinese and Foreign Museum Education Research Center of East China Normal University, which gathered 25 teachers from 18 schools, based on the cognitive laws of junior high school students and the needs of school education and teaching, fully excavated the discipline resources of the museum, combined with the content of matching teaching materials, fully excavated the resources of nearly 100 museums in the Yangtze River Delta from the perspective of discipline education, and published the "Museum Classroom" series.
The reporter learned that the "Museum Classroom" series of "Museum Discipline Inquiry Journey" has been officially published online, which is characterized by "museum education + subject knowledge" and designs a number of research routes from the perspective of "one museum multidisciplinary" and "one discipline and multiple libraries". On the basis of covering the content of a series of one, the "100 Museums and 100 Singles: Follow the Textbook to Study @ Museum" further broadens the boundaries of the "museum", highlights the needs of "five educations at the same time", highlights the "Shanghai culture" brand and the concept of "architecture can be read", and cooperates with the requirements of the Shanghai Compulsory Education Project-based Learning Action Plan, guides students from textbooks to museums, and can also take the initiative to learn and think in real situations, observe life across disciplines, and propose and solve problems.
Zhuang Yu, director of the Education and Research Center of Chinese and Foreign Museums at East China Normal University, said: "During the Spring Festival and winter vacation, more and more children will enter the museum, and we hope that children can use the study list as a scaffold to feel and learn in the museum, so that the knowledge and wisdom of the museum will become the first gift of the New Year that they have explored, so that the New Year's taste is worth recalling." ”
