本文首先讨论两项影响当前和日后关于博物馆(尤其是城市博物馆)研究的主题:藏品以及专门陈列藏品的建筑。然后探讨设立城市博物馆的城市(大都市或小城镇)规模的问题。最后,运用档案学、图像学和地图学的资源以及多媒体工具来展现城市在一段历史长河中的更迭,这对于与不同类型的博物馆受众(如游客、市民、新移民和儿童等)进行交流而言是非常必要的。 This article begins with a discussion of two topics that affect current and future research on museums, especially urban museums: collections and buildings that display collections exclusively. Then explore the issue of the size of a city (metropolis or small town) where city museums are set up. Finally, the use of archival, imageological and cartographic resources and multimedia tools to demonstrate the city’s changing nature over a long period of time has shown its relevance to different types of museum audiences (tourists, citizens, new immigrants and children, etc.) Words are very necessary.
