一些悄然而来的变化带来的其实是一场革命:仅仅十年间,博物馆多了,展览多了,观众多了。“九五”期间中国新建了12个大型博物馆;“十五”期间将有30家包括国家博物馆及省市级博物馆在内的新博物馆开工建设;有11家大型博物馆将进行改扩建。不仅仅是数量令人欣喜,与世界博物馆发展趋势同步,中国的博物馆承担了城市的文化功能,成为新的城市文化中心。中国博物馆的黄金时代到来了。数量是个相对的概念。中国有2000多座博物馆,百年来中国博物馆从无到有,2000座的数量足以令博物馆人自豪。但对建筑界来说,博物馆建筑实在是个小行业,在中国的城市化进程的高潮中,有无数的宾馆、饭店、办公楼、商场要建设,博物馆建筑的数量显得微不足道。中国从来没有培养过博物馆 Some of the changes that have come about quietly are a revolution: in just ten years there are more museums, more exhibitions and more viewers. During the “Ninth Five-Year Plan” period, a total of 12 new large-scale museums will be built in China; 30 new museums including the National Museum and provincial and municipal-level museums will be under construction during the “10th Five-Year Plan” period; 11 large- Expansion. Not only is the number delightful, but in keeping with the development trend of the World Museum, the Chinese museum takes on the city’s cultural function and becomes a new urban cultural center. The golden age of Chinese museum has arrived. Quantity is a relative concept. There are more than 2,000 museums in China. From a century ago, there are only a handful of Chinese museums, and the number of museums is enough to make museums proud. However, for the construction industry, the museum building is really a small industry. In the climax of China’s urbanization process, there are countless hotels, restaurants, office buildings and shopping malls to be built, and the number of museum buildings is negligible. China has never cultivated a museum
