论学术研究在主题展览中的基础性作用——以“鸦片战争”展览为例

The Fundamental Role of Academic Research in a Thematic Exhibition——Taking the Opium War Exhibition as an Example

历史文化类展览的主题,须从历史文化事实中提取最具代表性、影响力和教育意义的概念,并以丰富的历史文化内容来表达,通过承载着这些历史文化信息的展品和布展设计来表现。因此,学术研究是博物馆展览设计的基石,研究的广度和深度直接影响展览的科学品质。鸦片战争博物馆针对本馆的展览选题,搭建了包括馆刊、专著、论坛在内的多种学术平台,孵化了一批学术研究成果,并运用于"鸦片战争"展览,极大地深化了展览主题、丰富了展示内涵,并促成了形式与内容的较好融合,集中体现了"内容为王"的办展理念。

The theme of historical and cultural exhibitions should be the most representative,influential and educational significance concepts which have to extract from the historical and cultural facts,and should be expressed by the exhibits and exhibitions with rich historical and cultural information.Therefore,academic research is the cornerstone of a museum exhibition design,and the breadth and depth of academic research directly influence the scientific quality of museum exhibitions. The Opium War Museum focuses on its exhibition topic selection,has set up a variety of academic platforms including publications,monographs and forums,and has incubated a group of academic research achievements. The Opium War Exhibition applies in practice with all achievements above-mentioned,deepens the theme of the exhibition and enriches its content,makes a better integration between form and content,which embodies the exhibition idea of "content matters".
