Expanding exhibition space, breaking through the tangible boundaries of museum architecture, allowing more collections to leave the warehouse, integrate into daily life, and reach the public, with enormous potential and the possibility of solving the problem of difficult access to tickets in museums. What are some clever tricks? For some time now, Xi'an, Shaanxi has launched a new exploration: the Xi'an Beilin Museum has announced that it is open all year round and will not have any closing days; The Western Airport Museum has opened at Xi'an Xianyang International Airport, where passengers can enjoy exquisite cultural relics while traveling. The topic of "building a museum at the airport" has sparked heated discussions. As the "cultural and museum fever" continues to heat up, visiting museums has become a way of life for more people. In 2024, museums across the country will receive over 1.4 billion visitors, a year-on-year increase of over 100 million visitors; During this year's Spring Festival holiday, museums across the country received a new high of over 10 million visitors per day. To meet the new expectations of the masses, it is necessary to further resolve the supply-demand contradiction in cultural and museum industries. How to expand supply? Some places explore breaking time boundaries. In reality, the closure of the museum on Mondays has caused regret among tourists who come to admire its reputation, and the opening hours from nine to five have also hindered the footsteps of office workers. As a result, some museums open early and close late, some offer night tours, and some cancel their closing days. Extending the opening hours and even creating an "open museum" can open the door for more tourists. Time has an upper limit, space is unlimited. Expanding exhibition space, breaking through the tangible boundaries of museum architecture, allowing more collections to leave the warehouse, integrate into life, and reach the public, with enormous potential and possibilities. You can 'expand outward'. For example, many museums in Sichuan are actively "going global", with tour exhibitions covering multiple cities in China. It can be extended downwards. Jiangsu has launched the "Su Yun" exhibition tour around the province, bringing popular cultural relics from large exhibition halls to grassroots exhibitions. The tilt of cultural and museum resources towards the grassroots level can help narrow the gap in public cultural services between urban and rural areas. It can also 'merge inward'. The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum has launched the "One Square Meter Museum" project, showcasing the skeletal specimens of humpback whales on elementary school campuses; The Guangzhou Railway Museum in Guangdong has moved its exhibits to Baiyun Station, allowing travelers to experience the development and changes of railways up close; The Jilin Changchun Confucian Temple Museum has entered the commercial district, offering cultural feasts to citizens through Hanfu parades, national style sports games, and more... When the museum integrates into the urban space, the station is not just a gathering place for passenger flow, and the shopping mall is not just a place for dining and shopping, but has the functions of collection, exhibition, and social education. The contradiction between supply and demand of cultural and museum resources lies in the limited collection and difficult accessibility. Setting up exhibitions in densely populated areas with ample space is precisely to improve the accessibility of cultural and museum resources. Beijing has proposed to build a "City of Museums", which not only emphasizes the role of various museums, but also integrates cultural relics, buildings, and celebrity residences into urban renewal, showcasing cultural charm in every street, alley, brick, and tile. This also enlightens us that cultural spaces are everywhere, and all material relics with historical and cultural significance can be displayed. By integrating them more closely with the city and linking them more closely with daily life, cultural and cultural resources can subtly nourish people's hearts. Expanding boundaries is not as simple as adding a few display boards or distributing a few brochures. By adding VR (virtual reality) devices, revitalizing folk collections, and recruiting audiences to participate in artistic creation... Guided by demand, enhancing the value of exhibitions, and increasing the fun and interactivity, we can make new spaces attractive, new exhibitions attract large traffic, and museums truly integrate into life. It should also be noted that optimizing supply requires efforts in both quantity and quality. The exhibition of cultural relics must ensure safety; Open delay, management services need to keep up; Small museums have limited capabilities and need to improve their quality and enhance their internal skills... To write a good "big article" on expanding the boundaries of museums, it is necessary to adapt to local conditions and provide more high-quality cultural and museum resources. Some people say, "A museum always has a capacity limit, but its energy is immeasurable." Breaking the "wall" of a museum and making cultural spaces everywhere and cultural resources within reach will enrich people's spiritual and cultural lives, and strengthen cultural confidence.
