第35届国际博物馆日:“处于变化世界中的博物馆:新挑战,新启示”

    2012518日,世界各地的博物馆及相关机构将共庆第35届国际博物馆日。
近日,国际博物馆协会公布了2012年国际博物馆日的主题,处于变化世界中的博物馆:新挑战,新启示”。
    今天,世界日新月异。新的技术不断地向我们传达着新的理念、不计其数的信息和千变万化的资讯。我们希望通过2012年的国际博物馆日来呼吁所有人思索博物馆在当今新社会、新媒体时代的地位,共同探索和审视博物馆如何走向可持续发展的未来。
    “处于变革世界中的博物馆:新挑战、新启示这一主题代表了这样一种认知,即博物馆正面临着如何阐释和生存于一个变动性日益增强的世界的课题。或许每座博物馆都有其与众不同的目标、利益和观众,然而在挑战中求繁荣的必然要求又将大大小小的博物馆联系在一起。所以,2012年的国际博物馆日不仅关乎博物馆今天的发展以及未来的走势,同时也涉及怎样展示和诠释诸如气候变暖和新电子媒体之类的具体问题。


International Museum Day 2012

Museums in a Changing World. New challenges, New inspirations.


        The worldwide community of museums will celebrate the 35th anniversary of International Museum Day around 18 May, 2012.

        In 2012, Museums in a Changing World. New Challenges, new inspirations is the theme of International Museum Day. Today, the world is changing faster than ever. New technology delivers new ideas, gigabytes of information, news of an increasingly unstable climate.

International Museum Day will allow its visitors to wonder about the role of museums in our new society, in the era of new media, and to discover and rediscover how museums are looking to the future in terms of sustainable development.
       The International Council of Museums (ICOM) established International Museum Day in 1977 to encourage public awareness of the role of museums in the development of society. Momentum has been rising unabated ever since. In 2011, International Museum Day garnered recordbreaking participation with almost 30,000 museums hosting events in more than 120 countries.
