近代博物馆教育实践方式探析——以济南广智院为例

Research on the Education Practices in Modern Museums:Taking the Tsinanfu Institute as an Example

近代中国早期博物馆的建立者主要是来华传教士,因传播教义所需,博物馆的教育属性亦随之而起。济南广智院是近代山东地区最具影响力的博物馆之一,其馆内的藏品与展览等让当时大批国人接触到西方科学技术知识、新思想观念以及世界较为前沿性的新闻动向,为国人开阔了视野,增长了见识。同时广智院针对不同群体施以不一样的教育方式,如此拓展了近代博物馆的教育职能,为我国博物馆公共教育职能的发挥提供了良好的范式。

Early museums in modern China were founded primarily by missionaries to China, and the educational function of museums was necessitated by the spread of religious doctrine. The Tsinanfu Institute was one of the most influential museums in Shandong Province in modern times, its collections and exhibitions exposed a large number of Chinese people to Western scientific and technological knowledge, new ideas and more cutting-edge news trends in the world, broadening their horizons and increasing their knowledge. At the same time, the Tsinanfu Institute applied different education methods to different groups, thus expanding the educational functions of modern museums and providing a good paradigm for the public education functions of museums in China.
