关注“非物质遗产”:从博物馆定义看科技藏品/展品的价值与表达

Attention Paid to “Intangible Heritage”: Evaluating the Value and Expression of Scientific and Technological Collection/Exhibit from the Perspective of Museum Definition

国际博协2007年的博物馆定义,将教育确定为博物馆的首要目的,将征集、保护、研究、传播并展出的对象规定为"人类及人类环境的物质及非物质遗产"。从这一视角分析,科技藏品/展品最重要的价值在于它所承载的自然、科技、历史和文化信息;科技博物馆基于科技藏品/展品的研究、传播与展示设计的基本出发点,是以"科学教育"为目标,揭示其中的"非物质科学文化遗产",即"物"与"人"的关系。

According to the ICOM definition of a museum(2007 version),education is identified as the primary purpose of museums.And the objects of being collected,protected,researched,disseminated and exhibited are defined as"the material and intangible heritage of human beings and the human environment".From this perspective,the most important value of scientific and technological collections/exhibits lies in the natural,scientific,historical and cultural information they carry.Thus,to research,display and disseminate the information is the basic starting point of work in science and technology museums.Also aiming to achieve the core goal of science education,those museums should reveal the"intangible scientific and cultural heritage",which is the relationship between"objects"and"people",to the public.
