叙事展览是以时间轴进行组织架构,展示内容具有明确的一致性,并形成一定的故事逻辑的展览范式。其出现时间早,但研究起步晚,一些学者将展览视作一种叙事媒介进行研究,为叙事展览的结构和建构提供了可资参考的方法。本文利用展览叙事理论审视苏州博物馆“吴地遗珍”和“纯粹江南”两个历史展览,在指出苏州博物馆本馆与西馆历史陈列叙事差异及其产生原因的基础上,对叙事展览理论的适用性也做了探讨。

A narrative exhibition is an exhibition paradigm that is organized within a timeline and has a clear consistency in its display content and a certain story logic.Taking exhibitions as a narrative medium,scholars have proposed models for structuring and constructing narrative exhibitions.This article uses the theory of narrative exhibition to analyze the two history exhibitions,"Wu Treasures" and Pure Jiangnan",at Suzhou Museum and Suzhou Museum West respectively.In addition to pointing out the differences between the two history exhibitions and the causes for such differences,it also discusses the applicability of the narrative exhibition models.
