Description
Centre Pompidou and British Museum in Shanghai, Rencontres d'Arles in Xiamen, Musée Rodin in Shenzhen... in recent years we have witnessed a wave of long-term or more ephemeral projects by major Western cultural brands to establish themselves in China. At a time when China has seen a sustained increase in the number of museums on its territory, where do we stand today and what are the opportunities in terms of engineering and cultural cooperation? What expectations do Chinese professionals have of Western museum and heritage professionals today? How are cultural practices evolving and what are the expectations of Chinese audiences? More generally, what are the major issues shaking up the Chinese cultural world today: between ecological transition, economic development, digital innovation? 5 examples : 1. MA Xiaolin, Director of Henan Museum: Chinese practice in the new definition of the museum. 2. LI Gang, Director of Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum: Panorama of the development of archaeological site museums and the latest research results on the protection of cultural relics. 3. WANG Zhiqiang, Director of Palace Museum of the Manchurian Regime: Inter-applications of technology and innovation in Chinese museums. 4. ZHENG Jing, Director of China Grand Canal Museum: Overview of social education in Chinese museums. 5. LI Wenchu, Director of Luoyang Museum: Technological application achievements in Chinese museums.
