摘要： This article explores how the study of museums intersects with key aspects of Victorian historiography. A large scholarship on museums has developed as part of the larger, multidisciplinary effort to understand modernity in general, and Victorian society in particular, in terms of power, culture, and imperialism. Deeply influenced by the works of Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu, Museum Studies has tended to emphasize the cultural and social power of 'the museum'. However, more recent works have shown that when viewed in their particular historical contexts, museums seem far less powerful, and the class whose interests they apparently serve seems far less unified, than scholars originally imagined. Proliferating during a period of intense social transformation, Victorian museums ultimately both celebrated the new dogma of progress and hoped to mitigate the worst effects of urbanization, industrialization, and capitalism. A close study of the interconnections between Victorian museums and Victorian society thus illuminates two essential Victorian contradictions: the optimistic, imperial, industrial, capitalist society that contained its own critique, and the search for the transcendent in the material.

摘要： 一、博物馆教育职能的历史与发展博物馆教育职能大约出现在19世纪。过去观众在库房中参观藏品,博物馆方面并没有一定的教育目的。到了19世纪中叶,有的博物馆另辟陈列室有目的有组织地陈列藏品,有计划地对观众施以影响,于是出现了博物馆的教育职能。

关键词： Museum   Social Capital   Choice Experiment   Visitor Preferences   Visitor Utility  

摘要： This study investigates preferences of visitors to the Discovery Museum (in North East England) with respect to opportunities to develop social capital. The extent to which museums generate social capital is largely unknown, but museums have potential opportunities to develop this type of capital. This study uses a stated preference choice experiment (CE) technique to estimate museum visitor preferences towards social capital opportunities. The findings indicate that visitors have a preference for visiting a museum with another individual(s);and that the provision of participatory activities, extended opening hours and locally related displays would generate more social capital among visitors and in society.

摘要： In the past decade writers and researchers have given a fair amount of consideration to the individual adult visitor's interaction with technology in museums. However, very little has been written about the potential of museum technology and groups of learners—surprising since we know that most visitors come to museums in social groups. This article examines the kinds of interaction and mediated experiences that groups of learners might have with museum technology, and imagines some models for groups of learners and technology for museums in the future.

摘要： 博物馆的经营管理创新已进入议事日程,但如何通过管理创新提高博物馆的发展能力,是需要不断跟踪探讨的问题。由于我国博物馆一直依附于政府,缺乏民间色彩,社会化程度较低,经费来源单一。仅依靠财政拨款征集文物,藏品的来源日趋减少,满足不了藏品的规模化发展需要,从而使博物馆的应有功能难以充分发挥,在文化产业不断发展的今天,注重开发博物馆的社会化服务功能,以适应文化产业发展的需要,显得尤为迫切。
