"從博物館策展到觀賞中國繪畫藝術 " 

講者：司徒元傑

講座摘要：

現代博物館的社會角色與教育功能日顯重要，有別於一般課堂教育，博物館可以更有效地發揮更多樣化、生動活潑、親近實物和深刻記憶的學習經歷。

博物館學研究指出，在規劃展覽活動考慮如何吸引觀眾時，可參考教育理論有關感觀、心理和情緒如何運作的分析，並聯繫觀眾的認知，以幫助誘發思考和學習興趣。現代博物館透過新穎的展示和演繹手法，利用不同媒介和多樣化的詮釋技巧介紹展品，並可結合藝術、歷史、社會，以至觀眾的生活經驗和本土元素等不同範疇，從而加深認識和欣賞展覽內容。

本講座以古今中國繪畫為例，探討博物館如何透過研究、策劃展覽和活動，達致更廣闊及有效地發揮其獨特傳播知識功能和教育目的。

"From Museum Curatorial Practice to the Appreciation of Chinese Painting" 

by Mr. SZETO Yuen Kit

Abstract:

The social and educational roles of contemporary museums are increasingly vital. Unlike traditional classrooms, museums offer diverse, dynamic, and object-centered learning experiences that foster deeper engagement and lasting memories. Museum studies suggest that exhibition planning benefits from educational theories on sensory perception, cognition, psychology, and emotion. Aligning interpretive strategies with audience cognition enhances reflection and learning. Using innovative displays and varied media, modern museums present exhibits that integrate art, history, society, and visitors’ experiences, including local culture, deepening viewers’ understanding and appreciation. This Master Class uses Chinese paintings, past and present, as a case study to show how museums, through research, curatorial work, and public interaction, effectively fulfil their mission of knowledge dissemination and education.
