涉海类博物馆海丝主题展览的策展方向与实践

Direction and Practice of Curating Exhibitions on the Maritime Silk Road in Maritime Museums

海上丝绸之路是东西方交流的海路网络,包括东亚、东南亚等六大板块和航行、贸易、文化三大体系。对“海丝”概念与要素的研究是策划高品质海丝主题展览的科学依据和入手点。目前国内主要的海丝主题展览可分为通史类、断代史类、要素类等。沿海地区地方史类博物馆、海丝沉船博物馆、专门展示海丝贸易品的博物馆及其他涉海类博物馆是对海丝主题展览诉求最为强烈的四类博物馆群体。上述三类展览之于这四类博物馆的受众,分别有着不同意义。在对它们进行共性分析的同时,也要考量不同博物馆、不同展览时段的个性化选择。国内外海丝沿线区域史、航行技术的发展、不同窑口的贸易瓷器、小宗贸易品、文化意识的交流与影响等都是海丝主题展览可以尝试的策展方向。

The Maritime Silk Road is a network of sea routes for East-West exchanges comprising six geographical regions including East Asia,Southeast Asia and others,and three systems of navigation,trade and culture.Sufficient research on the concept and elements of the Maritime Silk Road is the foundation for curating exhibitions on this theme.The previous and current exhibitions on this theme can be categorized as general history exhibitions,dynasty history exhibitions,and theme exhibitions.Local history museums in coastal areas,shipwrecks museums,museums specializing in traded goods on the Maritime Silk Road,and other maritime museums are the four main types of museums who have the strongest demand for exhibitions on the Maritime Silk Road.The above mentioned three categorizes of exhibitions have different meanings for the audiences of these four types of museums.When analyzing their commonality,it is also important to consider the individual choices of different museums at different exhibition times.The history of the regions along the Maritime Silk Road,the development of navigation technologies,the trade porcelains of different kilns,small trade goods,and the cultural exchange and mutual influence are the directions that can be explored in curating exhibitions of the Maritime Silk Road.
