博物馆展览的阐释与叙事:背景、路径与方法

在博物馆收藏史中出现了大量为认知服务的展品,这些展品的集合所形成的主题性展览旨在帮助人们理解某一事件、现象或进程。对展品进行阐释是帮助观众理解展览的必要工作,也是展览策划与设计的核心任务。阐释工作可以从个体的和群体的两个层面展开。在对个体展品的阐释中,主要要解决实物展品在传播中的信息隐蔽性与表达非耗时性带来的困难,除了符号化外,内涵与语境的可视化,在展项中注入时间维度,都是解决传播难点的有效方法。展品的群体性集合可以通过分类和叙事展开,分类和叙事都具有良好的阐释功能,使集合体中的个体得到有效的解释。

Interpretation and Narrative of Museum Exhibitions:Background, Path and Methods

A large number of exhibits serving cognition have emerged in the history of museum collections. The thematic exhibition formed by the collection of these exhibits aims to help people understand a certain event, phenomenon, or process. Explaining the exhibits is a necessary task to help the audience understand the exhibition, and it is also the core task of exhibition planning and design. Interpretation work can be carried out at two levels:individual and group. When interpreting individual exhibits, the main challenge is to overcome the difficulties that arise from the concealment of information and the non-time consuming expression of physical exhibits in dissemination. In addition to symbolization, visualization of connotation and context, and the injection of time dimensions into exhibition items are effective methods for solving communication difficulties. The grouping of exhibits can be achieved through classification and narrative techniques, both of which have good explanatory functions, and can effectively explain individuals in the collection.
