Museum Educational Practices in China

Abstract

Museums across the globe demonstrate different cultures and events of significance throughout our history through spectacles of different art, relics, monuments and memorials. Despite this commonality throughout all museums, the cultural significance and the methods of demonstration vary from different nations. With China’s elaborate and and extended history, museums are very common and assumed to be of high cultural significance. Through the examination of the nation’s most influential museums and displays, this research aims to identify the different educational programs and opportunities offered to the community within these exhibits, as well as the methods of advertisement and the attraction of the audience to the museums. These factors are examined through both the modernization of exhibits, the use of technology within these exhibits, as well as the resources provided to visitors to further their understanding of the demonstrations. In addition to these factors, this research will also examine the influence of the government within these museums through both the continuous funding and the regulations placed on the exhibits. This abstract offers a brief overview of the multi-faceted examination of museum culture and its significance within China.
