Today is International Museum Day, and this year's theme is "Museums Committed to Education and Research". Recently, the evaluation results of the fifth batch of national first-class museums were announced, and there are many "small" museums in this list, including Linping Museum, Wu Culture Museum, Linqu County Museum, etc. A group of "small" museums have been shortlisted for the promotion of "ranks" and entered the field of vision of more people, and some people will ask, what kind of "secret" is there?
There are big exhibitions in the "small" museum, and the "treasure of the town hall" is excavated. Located in the Wu Culture Museum in Suzhou, academic deep cultivation is the fulcrum of its out-of-the-circle circle, and the special exhibition of "Tree Monument Biography" takes the ancient and famous trees of Wuzhong as the protagonist, and the fieldwork behind it lasts for two or three years. Hangzhou's Linping Museum "hides" the real Jiangnan Water Town, and the "Spring Breeze and Green - Jiangnan Water Town Culture Exhibition" has been among the top ten fine exhibitions of museums in China. Some of the small and medium-sized museums display regional culture, some focus on industry changes, and some deeply cultivate characteristic themes, accurately set audience groups, do a good job in professional development, and present a unique style, so as to become a "treasure museum" in the hearts of the audience.
The "niche" should be closer to the public, and the service should have a large increase. Obtain the "Quest Codename", flip through the "Secret Script", and look for clues in your suitcase and handbag...... Shanghai's Qian Xuesen Library has launched an original live-action immersive script experience "Homecoming 1955" to explore new ideas and methods of ideological and political education. There are also many museums that focus on the needs of families and young people, and launch public education activities such as immersive workshops and multi-theme research camps. By bringing the exhibition closer to the public, improving its services, and becoming a hub for community activities and a social hub for the public, these museums have achieved a breakthrough in influence.
"Small" has connotation, and it needs to be accumulated steadily. Museums are the "memory card" of culture and the "decoder" of history, and the current way of opening is not only playable and visible, but also superimposed with "usable" functions, and has become a "booster" of the spirit. To bring in, we must go out, go deep into the neighborhood, and serve the residents; Open up the traffic entrance, make good use of digital technology to make cultural relics "come alive", and let young people make good use of various teaching resources of the museum.
In 2023, the Continental Museum will hold more than 40,000 exhibitions, more than 380,000 educational activities, and receive 1.29 billion visitors, a record high. Some media have called for the "museum fever" to disperse to the "cold place" and improve the phenomenon of "overcrowding" in large museums and "crowded" in small and medium-sized museums. Do a good job of connecting with thickness and depth, and the "small" hall will gradually receive the heat and pick up the traffic.
To allow more small and medium-sized museums to be "seen", it is necessary to break through the bottlenecks such as insufficient resources and professional talents. In fact, many large museums also started from small venues and small scales, and gradually embarked on a benign development track. From the "City of Museums" and "Museum Town" to more "small but beautiful" museums, the roots of museums continue to extend. The museum at the doorstep is becoming more and more popular, so that more people can get richer cultural nourishment.
