Review:Archaeology and Museum in 2021

2021年国际博物馆日的主题是“博物馆的未来:恢复与重塑”。在新冠疫情全球蔓延的第三年,博物馆行业经历了反复的闭馆和经费大幅削减之后,正在积极努力地寻找面向未来的解决方案。在2021年新开幕的展览和新开馆的博物馆中,新的展览理念和方法在并不景气的大环境中顽强生发。面对着新的资本概念、局部战争和冲突、极端气候,博物馆做出了积极的应对。在这一年的行业动态里,可以看到考古发掘直播、以文化遗产为灵感的舞蹈作品,以及越来越多文物与当代艺术作品的跨界展览,文博行业正向着更多元化的方向发力。在博物馆学的领域内,博物馆新定义、性别议题、博物馆与观众的关系是学界讨论的重点。为未来做好准备,也许是这一年博物馆界最重要的一句话。

The theme of International Museum Day 2021 is“The Future of Museums:Recover and Reimagine”.In the second year of the pandemic,after repeated closures and significant funding cuts,the museum sector is actively working to find future-oriented solutions.In the new exhibitions and museums opening in 2021,new concepts and approaches are robustly emerging in such unfavourable environment.In face of new capital concepts,local wars and conflicts,and extreme climates,museums have responded positively.In the past year,museums have seen a move towards greater diversity,from live streamed archaeological excavations,dances inspired by cultural heritage,and increasing numbers of cross-border exhibitions of cultural objects and contemporary artworks.Within the field of museology,key topics involve new definitions of museums,gender issues and the relationship between museums and audiences.Preparing for the future was perhaps the most important keyword in the museum sector this year.
