娱乐先行,教育为本——苏州博物馆特展的再定位

Entertainment as the first,education as the foundation:Reorientation of the special exhibition in Suzhou Museum

博物馆娱乐是由博物馆提供的、具有特定目的的内容载体或是由博物馆引发的愉悦、充实的体验活动。公众的娱乐需求催生出博物馆的娱乐功能,进而促使公众走进博物馆、留在博物馆。教育在博物馆中具有举足轻重的地位,也是公众参观博物馆的终极意义所在。以苏州博物馆的“1509:与谁同坐——吴门画派之青少年教育互动展”为例,探讨博物馆教育与娱乐的关系。我们既要坚守以教育为核心的博物馆功能,做到“娱乐先行”而非“娱乐至上”,也要树立“育”“乐”合一的目标,多角度寻求博物馆教育指导娱乐的方法。

Museum entertainment can serve as a platform with the specific purpose developed by museum or a pleasant and rich experience at museum.The growing needs of people for entertainment give birth to the entertainment role of museum,while the needs for entertainment make it possible for people to spend time in visiting museums.One of the most important purposes of museum is to display items for education of the public.This is the very reason why people always take a trip to museums.Taking the special exhibition"Interaction between Museum and the Youth Education Program in Wu School Painting"in Suzhou Museum as an example,this paper discusses on the relationship between museum education and museum entertainment.It is concluded that the educational purpose of museum should be seen as the foundation while make entertainment the first instead of being everything.We should integrate education and fun,and try to find out how a museum can favor entertainment for the educational purpose from different aspects.
