科学博物馆与公众考古的结合——“拉斯科洞穴壁画复原展”述评

The combination of public archaeology and science-related museums: Review of the exhibition "The Cave Paintings of Lascaux"

上海科技馆举办的“拉斯科洞穴壁画复原展”以严谨的逻辑线、连贯的故事线、趣味的体验线揭示了展览主题的历史价值、科学价值和艺术价值.该展览通过图文、模型逐步铺垫烘托岩画的复原展示,通过器物组合与实验考古视频阐释克罗马农人的生业形态,通过互动查询和纪录片赏析岩画艺术、探究古人的思想世界,较好地解决了引发兴趣、答疑解惑、有效传播等主要问题,是一次在科学博物馆中展示考古学题材的成功实践.

The exhibition "The Cave Paintings of Lascaux" held in Shanghai Science & Technology Museum showed the historical, scientific and artistic values of the cave paintings through a complete story, a coherent logic and interesting inspiration. After the display boards and models, which were designed as the prelude, came the replicas of the cave paintings; with the help of the lithic assemblage and videos of experimental archeology, the vivid subsistence pattern of Cro-Magnon showed up. The interactive installations and documentary videos offered by the museum helped visitors appreciate the paintings and explore the spiritual life of the ancient people. With the necessary combination of arousing interest, spreading knowledge and effective communication, the exhibition proved a successful one held in a museum of science and technology.
