Research On The Utilization Efficiency Of Museum Collections In China

The collection is the core and the foundation of the museum.The utilization of collections plays an important role in the work of museums.It is the embodiment of collection protection and research results,and the way to realize the cultural value and core function of museums.The strong contrast between the rich collection resources,the soaring cultural demand and the low utilization efficiency of China's collections is the bottleneck for Chinese museums to play their effectiveness.Therefore,improving the utilization rate of museum collections is the demand of our times and the historical necessity.The core of the utilization of museum collections is to realize the value of collections,and the way to realize it is the concrete utilization.Based on the discussion on the value of cultural heritage at home and abroad,and starting from the function of museums,the value of collections can be divided into ontological value,which is the source and foundation of value,as well as emotional value and development value,which is subsidiary and extension value,and the specific utilization methods are elaborated one by one.The display rate is the most intuitive manifestation of the utilization of museum collections.Based on 670 exhibition data collected randomly and mathematical modeling methods,we estimated the display rate of different administrative levels and different museum types from 2009 to 2018.The national average display rate was about 10.27%,and the display rate showed a general declining trend in the past decade.By adopting the statistical methods of Lasso regression,Logistics regression,Spearman and Pearson,combined with the museum-related data published in the "Statistical Yearbook of Chinese Culture",it is concluded that the area,personnel,and funding are the most relevant factors affecting the number of museum exhibitions.The display rate is a quantitative discussion based on data sets.It analyzes the low utilization efficiency of museum collections from the aspects of breadth,depth,frequency and authenticity of other unquantifiable utilization methods.The internal reasons for the low utilization efficiency of collections are discussed from the aspects of insufficient research on collections,limited exhibition space,single utilization mode,narrow utilization thinking,repeatability of collections,and lack of professionals.The external factors are analyzed from the aspects of incomplete laws and regulations,low external participation,insufficient utilization funds,and lack of inter-museum communication.Only by combining quantitative analysis with qualitative analysis can we more clearly examine the basic situation of the utilization efficiency of museum collections in China.The low utilization efficiency of museum collections in China is manifested in breadth,depth,frequency and authenticity,and its reasons are manifested in internal and external aspects.However,under the existing conditions,it is impossible to immediately solve the existing problems and eliminate the factors causing the low utilization efficiency of the collection.The author discusses the strategies to improve the utilization efficiency of the collection from the international perspective,scientific perspective and technical level.This paper introduces the beneficial experience of foreign museums from the aspects of collection ontology,site,extended utilization and guarantee measures of collection utilization,and provides reference for solving the problems faced by Chinese museums in the utilization of collections under the circumstances of limited manpower,material resources and site.In the information age,the deep integration of museums and science and technology should be strengthened.Guided by the idea of "wisdom",by means of artificial intelligence,this paper discusses the current smart museum and the AI museum in the collection and utilization of practical application,and in case to explore the artificial intelligence technology in the museum tour,image acquisition,the repair of the collection design,improve the utilization efficiency of the collection,expand the collection and utilization of means,deepening the collection utilization,and constantly improve "man-collection-data-machine interaction.In the new era,museums should build an intelligent collection utilization model to provide the public with intelligent collection research,display and dissemination.However,the core of museum collection utilization is to excavate and inherit the value contained in the collection,which will not and cannot be changed by "wisdom".Modern science and technology is the means,and ultimately value inheritance is the purpose,to promote the road of China's collection utilization reform,so as to make the collection alive.
