1. How did today's Shanghai Museum come about?
Shanghai Museum was founded in 1952, and the original site is located in the old horse racing association at No.325 Nanjing West Road. The construction and development of Shanghai Museum began here.
From 1959 to 10, Shang Bo moved into the Old Zhonghui Building at No.6 Henan South Road/kloc-0, which is a distinctive European-style building and used to be the former site of a bank. This building later became the foundation for the further development of Shanghai Museum, because the $25 million from the auction of this building became the first important fund for the infrastructure construction of the new Shanghai Museum.
During the period of 1985, Shanghai Museum built five exhibition halls, including bronzes, ceramics, calligraphy and painting, sculpture and coins, and renovated them. During the five years from 1986 to 1990, Shanghai Museum has established its image, expanded its popularity and influence at home and abroad, and explored experience for the construction of the new museum.
199 1 year, the Shanghai municipal government built the top ten spiritual civilization construction projects in the city. After learning this information, Shanghai Museum, with the help of the influence of the renovation of the old museum, used the rest day to invite the leaders of the four major teams of the Municipal Party Committee, the government, the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the responsible comrades of the Planning Commission and the financial department to visit the museum, see the display, see the warehouse, see the treasures and talk about work. Through this series of efforts, Huang Ju, then deputy secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Committee, was finally won to work on the spot. The new Shanghai Museum was determined to be included in the three key projects of Shanghai's top ten spiritual civilization construction projects, and the site was located in the People's Square in the city center.
At the end of 1995, the Shanghai Museum opened three special museums, namely bronze, ceramics and sculpture, and all of them were opened to the public on 1996, 10 and 12. The completed Shanghai Museum has a total construction area of 39,200 square meters, with a total investment of 570 million yuan, of which about 85% is allocated by the government and about 15% is sponsored by all circles at home and abroad. The final completion of Shanghai Museum benefited from the simultaneous efforts of government finance and social donation, which provided a successful example for us to strive for social forces at home and abroad to participate in the construction of public welfare cultural projects.
2. What about the architecture of Shanghai Museum?
199 1 year 65438+February 2 1 day, the Shanghai Municipal Cultural Management Committee reported the proposal for the expansion project of the new Shanghai Museum to the Municipal Planning Commission, and established the preparatory office for the new Shanghai Museum on199265438+1October 2. 65438+1October 29th, the Municipal Planning Commission approved the project and agreed to expand the new People's Square. 1993 determine the construction scheme and start the construction. 1996 10 10 12, Shanghai Museum was fully completed and opened.
Shanghai Institute of Architectural Design undertook the overall architectural design of Shanghai Museum, with Xing Tonghe as the chief designer and Teng Dian as the deputy chief designer. Designers gave the building the meaning of "a round place"-the whole building is 29.5 meters high, and the architectural shape is a combination of square base, giant dome and arch. The exterior and interior walls are all made of granite, which is magnificent and magnificent. The completed museum is in harmony with the vertical slab of the People's Building (the residence of the municipal government) on the opposite floor 18, and it is a five-story (above ground) horizontal slab, thus making the whole square space appear towering and open, with extraordinary momentum.
In terms of details, the spatial layout of Shanghai Museum's exhibition hall, the basic functions of the museum, the integrity of space creation, the complementarity of software and hardware, advanced equipment and facilities, Spanish granite overlaid on the external wall, Indian sandstone overlaid on the internal wall of the museum, Saudi Arabian marble decorated on the ground, the decoration in the museum, the differences in basic colors of the exhibition halls, the stone carvings outside the door and the decorative patterns of door knockers have all been carefully selected and become more exquisite.
3. How to build a supporting museum fire security system?
According to the needs of Shanghai Museum's cultural relics and exhibition halls, Shanghai Museum has designed fire protection and security works. Taking the security system as an example, the first-phase construction investment of the system is 20 million yuan, including the monitoring system of exhibition hall, warehouse and office area, emergency broadcasting, forced landing of elevators, etc. In the fire fighting project, smoke sensing technology and infrared sensing system are adopted according to different needs, and the design and installation of supporting facilities are determined according to the specific characteristics of cultural relics such as preciousness, texture and material.
According to the relevant national regulations and standards on safety system and fire fighting system, Shanghai Museum has passed the acceptance of fire fighting institutions after several stages of construction. The security system has passed the acceptance of National Cultural Heritage Administration Expert Group of the Ministry of Public Security. At present, the fire fighting, alarm and security system of Shanghai Museum has been relatively perfect, reaching the requirements of "three defenses" of "people", "things" and "technology".
4. How much is the maintenance fee?
The daily maintenance of the museum is coordinated by the property management department, the engineering department and the security department. According to incomplete statistics, Shanghai Museum spends about 40 million yuan on building maintenance every year, including 6.5438+0.5 million yuan for security and 6.5438+0.5 million yuan for cleaning. In 2000, the municipal finance allocated 80 million yuan for the Shanghai World Expo every year.
3. How to use the architecture of Shanghai Museum?
The buildings of Shanghai Museum are divided into the following three categories: (1) office area: the first floor is the office area of the whole museum; (2) Warehouse: the second floor underground is used as the warehouse; (3) Exhibition halls: all are ground buildings, 1 1 basic exhibition hall and 3 temporary exhibition halls; (4) Various supporting facilities: such as VIP reception room and projection hall.
The actual exhibition area of Shanghai Museum is 12000 square meters, accounting for about three-tenths of the total construction area. On the first floor, there are ancient Chinese bronze museum, China ancient sculpture museum, the first exhibition hall, film and television center, shops and restaurants (Chinese and western); There should be ancient ceramics museum, overlay ceramics museum, the second exhibition hall and tea room on the second floor. On the third floor, there are China Painting Gallery, China Calligraphy Exhibition and China Seal Gallery. On the fourth floor, there are China Ancient Jade Museum, China Ming and Qing Furniture Museum, China National Arts and Crafts Museum, China Coin Museum and the third exhibition hall.
In addition, rest places, toilets and other auxiliary means of visiting are distributed on all floors, and the services of the open department are in accordance with the requirements of star standards, and the overall design and operation are more humanized.
Fourth, the organizational system of Shanghai Museum?
Shanghai Museum is now implemented by the following 25 departments: (1) Administrative departments: Party Committee Office, Office, Personnel Department, Cultural Exchange Department, Finance Department and Administration Department; ⑵ Research departments: Bronze Research Department, Ceramic Research Department, Calligraphy and Painting Research Department, Craft Research Department and Cultural Relics Restoration Research Office; ⑶ Functional departments: Storage Department, Exhibition Department, Exhibition Design Department, Opening Department and Education Department; (4) Auxiliary functional departments: publishing department, cultural relics protection and archaeological science laboratory, information center and library; 5. Logistics service departments: security department, property management department, engineering department, art company and comprehensive service department.
In particular, the Shanghai Museum of Cultural Relics Management Committee is located in the Shanghai Museum, with the director of the museum as the leading position, and consists of the Secretarial Department, Archaeology Department, Museum/Memorial Hall Management Office, Ground Cultural Relics Management Office and Diaspora Cultural Relics Management Office. This special setting can also explain the special status of the Shanghai World Expo and the importance attached by the municipal government to the Shanghai World Expo.
5. How to organize the investigation of Shanghai Museum?
Shanghai Museum has five full-time research departments: Bronze Research Department, Ceramic Research Department, Calligraphy and Painting Research Department, Craft Research Department and Cultural Relics Restoration Research Office, which is largely determined by the positioning and collection structure of Shanghai Ancient Art Museum.
Shanghai Museum divides its collections into four categories: bronzes, ceramics, paintings and handicrafts, which are studied by four departments. At the same time, these four research departments will do more detailed research division internally. In addition, 1 1 perennial exhibitions are also maintained and inspected by these four departments.
This division of labor ensures that the collections of Shanghai Museum can be studied professionally and fully, and determines the operation mechanism and the way to play its functions. In this way, the research fields and professional knowledge of Shanghai Museum researchers were established. It can be said that this also determines the basic framework for the selection and training of professional researchers in Shanghai Museum.
The Shanghai World Expo has certain quantitative indicators for professional researchers. For example, experts with the title of full researcher should independently publish an academic research paper of more than 6,000 words in core academic journals at least every year, and publish a research work every three to four years. Professionals at different levels have corresponding management by objectives.
6. What are the collections and warehouses of Shanghai Museum?
Shanghai Museum has a rich collection, which is called "one million" collection, with precious cultural relics127,000, including 677 first-class items, 29,743 second-class items and 80 176 third-class items. More than 800,000 other cultural relics (mostly coins and other reference objects). These collections are divided into 2 1 categories, such as bronzes, ceramics, calligraphy, paintings, jade teeth, bamboo and wood lacquerware, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, seals and ethnic handicrafts, among which bronzes, ceramics and calligraphy and painting are featured.
There is a 3,000-square-meter warehouse on the second floor of the museum building, with an effective utilization area of about 2,500 square meters, which mainly stores 6,543,800+0.27 million precious cultural relics. In addition, Nanhui Warehouse (Shanghai suburb) keeps more than 800,000 pieces, with an area of about 1 1,000 square meters. The overall investment of the warehouse is high, and modern control equipment is purchased, which basically achieves constant temperature and humidity (temperature 20 5℃, humidity 55 5℃), and most of them are wooden storage cabinets, providing a good storage state for the cultural relics as a whole.
The storage office is a department specializing in the management of cultural relics warehouses, 16 people. According to the types of cultural relics, it is divided into five groups: epigraphy group, calligraphy and painting group, ceramics group, handicrafts group and reference materials. Each group needs to check the preservation status of cultural relics every day and report the problematic cultural relics (pests, damage, etc.). ) timely processing, and handed over to the relevant research departments and cultural relics restoration research room for joint research, in order to effectively solve and minimize losses. Because of the climate problem in Shanghai, the underground warehouse is humid, so it is difficult to control the temperature and humidity of the warehouse, which is not good for cultural relics, especially Gu Shuhua. Therefore, the Shanghai World Expo plans to turn part of the second floor into a painting and calligraphy warehouse.
The process of cultural relics warehousing is generally: collection → research → classification → warehousing; "Standardized system and clear accounts" is the core requirement of the warehousing department.
7. What about the national cultural relics work in Shanghai Museum?
The Shanghai World Expo has also done some work in the collection, research and display of national cultural relics, and established a craft research department to focus on the study of national craft culture. There are currently eight people in the technical department, each of whom has his own independent research direction.
Shang Bo's collection of national cultural relics includes national costumes, masks, tools for production and life, religious articles and many other aspects, but the collection is small. In addition, there are concerns about folk art, such as Shang Bo's shadow play collection, which is comprehensive and series. On the fourth floor of the museum building, there is a special "China Minority Arts and Crafts Museum". In the exhibition hall of more than 700 square meters, there are nearly 600 pieces of ethnic costumes, dyeing and embroidery, metal crafts, sculptures, pottery, lacquerware, rattan and bamboo weaving, mask art and so on.
However, as the China Museum of Ancient Art, the work of minority cultural relics is obviously not the focus of the Shanghai World Expo.
8. How was the exhibition in Shanghai Museum completed?
At present, the exhibition department of Shanghai World Expo has five staff members, who are mainly responsible for arranging the exhibition contents of three temporary pavilions. Including contacting museums at home and abroad to hold exhibitions, determining exhibition contents, cooperation methods and so on. On this basis, the cultural relics are screened and the outline (including text outline and catalogue outline) is determined. All the materials will be compiled and published after the exhibition.
The exhibition design department consists of five people, who are mainly responsible for completing the creativity and implementation of the exhibition form, including the overall design, renderings, structural drawings, brochures, construction drawings, etc. Every link needs care and creativity. First, according to the content and outline provided by the exhibition department, the workflow designs the schematic diagram, floor plan, interior design drawing, closet elevation drawing, section drawing, lighting drawing, ceiling plan drawing, elevation development drawing, node detail drawing, etc., and finally gives it to the construction team for specific operation and implementation.
In Shanghai Museum, according to the different sources of exhibits, exhibitions can be divided into collectible exhibitions and non-collectible exhibitions.
Collection exhibitions are usually planned by research departments and submitted to library leaders, who are responsible for the final approval of the exhibitions. For approved exhibitions, the research department will provide the exhibition list and catalogue to the exhibition design department for exhibition design and production, and the exhibition department will determine the exhibition hall and assist in the explanation of the exhibition and the editing of the exhibition catalogue. At present, the perennial furnishings in the museum 1 1 are completed in this way.
The exhibition department usually completes the topic selection planning and liaison work of non-museum collections, including exhibition cooperation mode and exhibits guarantee mode. If foreign exhibition cooperation is involved, the Cultural Exchange Office will assist in completing relevant foreign liaison work. Similarly, this exhibition plan will be handed over to the exhibition design department to complete the exhibition design and production after being confirmed by the museum leaders. For example, 1999, the ancient Egyptian art exhibition held in the first exhibition hall in cooperation with the British Museum was completed in this way.
9. What is the current situation of informatization construction in Shanghai Museum?
Shanghai Museum has an information center, which is an important department to reflect the modernization of the museum.
1984 Long before the new museum was built, the Shanghai Museum set up an information center. It was not until 1996 that the information process in the modern sense began, supporting the construction of museums and arranging the network. In 2000, the network was upgraded with a total investment of 20 million yuan. At present, Shanghai Museum has completed three phases of informatization construction, and its informatization level is in a leading position in China.
At present, there are *** 18 people in the center, divided into groups: 5 people in the network group are responsible for website construction and maintenance; Multimedia group 2 people, responsible for navigation system and related image data processing; The video group is responsible for shooting and editing video materials; The database group is responsible for collecting information from the international cultural information database and publishing the Yearbook of Cultural Information. The orientation of the center is mainly "service", which serves the work of the museum and the display of the museum image. It is a powerful "digital museum", and its work aims to combine reality and virtual, cultural relics and data well.
Informatization is an important project to establish the overall image of Shanghai World Expo. In more than two years, Shanghai World Expo has established seven database systems, including collection information management system, wenbo video library system, library system, academic garden library, wenbo library system, sensitive library query system and visual art appreciation. At present, the data entry of 165438+6000 cultural relics has been completed, including 66343 bronzes, 65438 ceramics+03636 paintings and calligraphy, and 27069 handicrafts.
In addition, the information center has set up a publishing department, which has collected a large number of domestic and foreign research articles on cultural relics, archaeology, art research and related fields, providing rich materials for the work of the museum.
In addition, the information center also has some income, mainly from network development and the distribution of CDs and related materials.
X. How does Shanghai Museum carry out social education?
Education is an important way to expand the functions of museums, and the Ministry of Education of Shanghai Museum undertakes this aspect. Combined with foreign experience, Shanghai Museum currently adopts the following social education methods:
1, commentary and museum volunteers
Explaining is a traditional way of social education in museums. In addition to the lecturers in the museum, the Shanghai Museum also recruited a certain number of volunteers to participate in this work. At present, there are more than 90 volunteers at work, helping to explain their work during exhibitions and holidays. The recruitment time and number of volunteers depend on the loss of volunteers. Volunteers can only participate in the training after passing the exam, and then participate in the explanation work after passing the training.
2. Friends of the Museum
"Friends of the Museum" is an important way for museums to attract employees from other industries to participate in museum work. They are all cultural lovers and museum supporters. They will be invited to attend the appreciation meeting, cultural knowledge inspection activities and the opening ceremony of major exhibitions of the Shanghai World Expo. In addition, the Shanghai World Expo also printed the Newsletter of Friends of Shanghai Museums to provide them with relevant information in the field of cultural relics.
3, street and community cultural work
Shanghai Museum popularizes cultural knowledge to the community, organizes "Friends of Collection" in the community, and organizes activities every two to three months, such as guiding the holding of personal collection exhibitions in the community, such as pens and stamps. Organize visits to Shanghai Museum and other cultural and cultural sites; Organize cultural experts to hold lectures in the community and so on.
4. Multimedia activity room
The multimedia activity room is the place where Shanghai Museum popularizes cultural knowledge in the museum. At present, in the multimedia activity room, we regularly read cultural audio-visual materials and books, and carry out cultural audio-visual film appreciation, hand-making, extension of interesting ink and wash, making jade from soft pottery, restoring tri-color Tang suit and various lectures, some of which are specially designed for children.
5. Popularization of culture and cultural knowledge
Popularizing cultural knowledge is the main purpose of museum social work. Under the guidance of this purpose, Shanghai Museum participated in the "Oriental Lecture Hall" sponsored by the Propaganda Department of Shanghai Municipal Committee and sponsored by Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, and as the designated unit of this lecture hall, it regularly organized lectures by Shanghai Museum and cultural relics experts from all walks of life. In addition, materials introducing the exhibitions and exhibits of Shanghai Museum were printed for the audience.
XI。 An Exhibition Plan —— How to arrange the annual exhibition plan of Shanghai World Expo?
This exhibition is a product of the museum. In 2005, Shanghai World Expo held six temporary exhibitions: bronze mirror exhibition of Shanghai Museum, Marseille art exhibition from 18 to 19 century, Louis XIV: collection exhibition of Versailles Palace in France, monochrome glazed porcelain exhibition of Qing Dynasty official kiln of temporary tower, light and stone: precious stones exhibition of Scott in the United States, and Shanghai.
From the content point of view, one of the six exhibitions is an ancient art exhibition in China, with bronzes and porcelain as the main content; There are also world ancient art exhibitions, including pure art exhibits (oil paintings, sketches and sculptures) and decorative art exhibits (clothing and other practical handicrafts of various textures); There is also a gem exhibition with both artistic and handicraft characteristics.
From the form of exhibition cooperation, there are exhibitions independently produced by Shanghai Museum, such as "Bronze Mirror Exhibition of Shanghai Museum", which show 150 bronze mirrors collected by Shanghai World Expo, which is a comprehensive display of the research results of bronze mirrors of Shanghai World Expo. There are also joint exhibitions, including exhibitions jointly held by some of the collections of the Shanghai World Expo and those of other museums and collection institutions, such as the temporary exhibition of monochrome glazed porcelain of the Qing Dynasty official kiln, the special exhibition of Jingdezhen porcelain in the17th century collected by the Shanghai Museum and the British Butler family, and the outreach of all the exhibits provided by one or more foreign museums and cultural relics collection institutions, such as 18 to 18.
Twelve. Reflections on the project construction of China National Museum and the general theory of museum science.
Through years of construction, Shanghai Museum has set a standard in the fields of China Museum and cultural and artistic exhibitions, and has become a domestic experience that China Museum can learn from. China Museum for Nationalities can also learn from the successful experience of not going abroad at the Shanghai World Expo, and build and develop the museum industry in combination with the actual situation. Through investigation, we believe that China Museum for Nationalities can learn from the following aspects:
1, Museums and Times.
The construction of Shanghai Museum has caught up with the opportunity of the city's top ten spiritual civilization construction projects, and won the understanding and support of the leaders of the municipal party committee, government, people's congress, CPPCC, planning commission and financial department. Finally, the main leading comrades were won to work on the spot, and the new building project of Shanghai Museum was determined as one of the top ten spiritual civilization construction projects in Shanghai, and the museum site was selected as the center.
The completion of the new Shanghai Museum seems to have grasped the opportunity of construction and won the support of leaders. But it is closely related to the development of the times. Since the reform and opening up, after years of economic construction, the importance of culture in the development of national economy has been paid attention to. In addition, new technologies and new means are constantly being applied in the field of museums. Therefore, in the early 1990s, the state invested in the construction of a number of new museums, such as Shaanxi History Museum, Shanghai Museum and Henan Museum. After the completion of these museums, they have become the window of local spiritual civilization construction, the position of cultural publicity and education, and the local cultural symbols, playing a decisive role.
At present, due to the changes in the living environment and conditions of all ethnic groups and the challenges of globalization and modernization, ethnic and regional cultural characteristics have disappeared rapidly and cultural heritage has disappeared sharply. The protection of cultural heritage has once again become the focus of social attention, which is a favorable situation for the construction of China National Museum.
2. Museums and urban development.
The successful operation of Shanghai Museum is closely related to the development of urban tourism. Close to the bustling Nanjing Road "Pedestrian Street", there are important cultural facilities such as Shanghai Grand Theatre nearby. The fall of Shanghai Museum provides a feast of "ancient art and culture" for the audience, thus enhancing the cultural atmosphere of the city and combining business and culture well. Tourists at home and abroad listened to the cultural dialogue between "ancient" and "modern" after traveling, thus giving full play to the social education function of the museum.
Therefore, the construction of China Museum for Nationalities should strive for the position of culture and cultural undertakings in urban development, and strive to incorporate them into the overall planning of urban cultural communication and tourism development, so as to ensure the benign operation of the museum and obtain the possibility of sustainable development.
3. Museums and their buildings.
Located in People's Square, Shanghai Museum is the political, economic and cultural center of Shanghai. It shows the image of Shanghai and is an important window for Shanghai's foreign cultural exchange. From this perspective, the construction of museum venues should highlight its important position in urban planning and construction. China National Museum should be one of the landmark buildings in Beijing. China National Museum is located near the center of Chang 'an Avenue, which can give full play to the functions of the National Museum and make it an important window for national cultural exchanges. And its architecture should be a "classic" of China Museum.
4. Museums and their positioning.
Shanghai Museum has always adhered to the position of "Museum of Ancient Art", giving people a visual road of ancient art in modern cities. At present, the National Museum of China is positioned as a large-scale comprehensive permanent national museum that gathers the long history and splendid culture of 56 ethnic groups in China, reflects the unity, progress and prosperity of all ethnic groups, takes ethnology as the keynote and serves the society as the purpose, and integrates seven functions of collection, display, research, education, service, communication and leisure. Therefore, China Museum for Nationalities should adhere to and strictly maintain this position, and take this as the center to carry out all the work of the museum, build its position and competitiveness in related fields, and strive to build it into a comprehensive national museum with world influence.
5. Museums and their collections.
Shanghai Museum's cultural relics collection is unique among domestic museums, but it pays more attention to the information construction of museums and builds them in stages, and has invested a lot of effort. The Shanghai World Expo has determined the development direction of the museum and expanded the traditional collection vision of the museum.
As we know, physical objects are the foundation and guarantee for the construction and development of museums and the display of their various functions. However, in the information age, the concept of collection needs to be changed, and with the particularity of national cultural relics, the National Museum of China needs to achieve the purpose of cultural protection, exhibition and exchange through various hands. China's national cultural relics are rare in the world for their wide range and rich variety. How to protect, collect and study so many national cultural relics with limited manpower, material resources and financial resources is an important topic. It is impossible for us to collect all the national cultural relics in the museum, so the newly-built National Museum of China cannot but consider making full use of the emerging technical means. China Museum for Nationalities should mobilize all sectors of society and local forces to build a "China Digital Museum for Nationalities" in a greater sense.
6. Museums and their products.
The Shanghai Museum not only regularly displays the ancient Chinese Bronze Museum, the China Ancient Sculpture Museum, the ancient ceramics museum, the modern architecture ceramics museum, the China Ancient Painting Museum, the China Ancient Calligraphy Exhibition, the China Ancient Seal Museum, the China Ancient Jade Museum, the China Ming and Qing Furniture Museum, the China Minority Arts and Crafts Museum and the China Ancient Coin Museum to attract the audience, but also regularly introduces domestic and foreign fine exhibitions to the society in the temporary exhibition hall. For example, 1998 launched the Xinjiang Cultural Relics Exhibition, which attracted 500,000 visitors for half a year. Therefore, the Shanghai Museum attaches great importance to the impact of temporary exhibitions on the Shanghai World Expo. Judging from the contents of the temporary exhibition, it actually goes beyond the positioning of Shanghai Museum as an ancient art museum, but it plays a very important role in attracting tourists to Shanghai Museum. Moreover, the introduction of these outreach, Shanghai Bo paid a certain fee, but it can get better social and economic benefits as compensation.
At present, the "three major ideas" formed by Shanghai Museum are: approaching ancient human civilization, striving to display outstanding cultural relics in remote provinces and cultural relics provinces of China, and holding large-scale and far-reaching exhibitions.
7. Museums and museum people.
When we talk about the development of Shanghai Museum, we can't help but mention Mr. Ma Chengyuan's personal efforts and contributions (1927-2004). Mr. Ma himself is an expert in the study of ancient Chinese bronzes and ancient philology, and also an expert in cultural relics identification. He has made great achievements in these fields. During the investigation, we heard the anecdote that Mr. Ma slept and studied bronzes in the warehouse.
In the mid-1980s, Mr. Ma became the curator of the Shanghai World Expo. He immediately completed the renovation of four exhibition halls, namely bronze, ceramics, calligraphy and painting, and sculpture, and built a new coin museum, which attracted considerable attention from domestic counterparts, and won the decision of Shanghai leaders to build a new museum during his term of office. The new Shanghai Museum was built for this purpose. After the new Shanghai Museum was completed, Mr. Ma held a telescope in his hand and found that Japanese construction workers had spliced more than a millimeter of granite veneer on the outer wall.
Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma Chengyuan's successor and current curator, summed up Mr. Ma's work in this way: he presided over many repairs, adjustments and reconstructions after the opening of the new Shanghai World Expo Pavilion; Promote the modernization of the three functions of Shanghai Museum: collection, research and education; The "three major ideas" for holding large-scale exhibitions have been formed, namely, approaching ancient human civilization, striving to display outstanding cultural relics in remote provinces and major cultural relics provinces in China, and holding large-scale and far-reaching exhibitions; Strengthen basic business management and academic research, and actively promote the "Shanghai Museum Collection Research Department" project; Completed the third phase of information engineering; The project of "personnel training and personnel system reform" has achieved phased results and is moving towards a deeper level of "personnel training".
Museum people nourish museum culture. Therefore, museum people are very important to the development of museums. In order to develop into an influential ethnology museum, China Museum for Nationalities should also gather a group of museum people who love the museum cause and have their own expertise in business, so as to nourish their own museum culture.
