天津广智馆的创建

The Foundation of Tianjin Institute

1925年林墨青创办了天津广智馆,它是近代天津较早的综合性博物馆。因相关史料的缺乏,目前有关天津广智馆的研究并不多,尤其涉及广智馆早期创建的论文几乎没有,笔者通过深入挖掘和整理天津博物馆藏相关史料加以研究,力求梳理清楚天津广智馆的创建历程,同时论述早期博物馆对于社会教育事业的意义以及对于社会民众的积极影响。

In 1925, Lin Moqing founded the Tianjin Institute, which was among the earliest comprehensive museums in modern Tianjin. The lack of relevant historical materials results in the scarce research, and there is even few articles referring to the foundation of Tianjin Institute. Based on fully seeking the materials housed by Tianjin Museum as well as a thorough study on them, the paper manages to clarify the founding course of Tianjin Institute, as well as elaborating on the significance of early museums to social education and the positive impact to the public.
