Paper Keywords: museum management improvement strategy

As the most concentrated display window of human civilization achievements, museums occupy an extremely important position in any country and region. As an ancient civilization with a long history, China has always attached great importance to the construction of museums. However, due to the special properties of museums in China, they have long faced difficulties such as lack of funds, backward technology and insufficient talent team, and the management of museums all over the country is not satisfactory.

First, strengthen the significance of museum construction

Museums are places with unique significance in modern human civilization. It shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting, displaying and studying important inventions, means of production and living, different national cultures and other important memory elements in human history. Museums are the concrete manifestation of the real and objective reality in various development periods of human civilization. They have the function of collecting history and creating the future. They combine natural civilization and artificial civilization and promote the inheritance and sustainable development of human culture. Museum is an important cultural symbol of the country and the nation, and it is also the window and image of social civilization and development and progress. Strengthening the construction of museums is an important part of the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, which is of great significance for cultivating and educating the next generation to understand the history and culture of the nation and inspiring the spirit of patriotism, and is also of great positive significance for helping domestic citizens and foreign friends understand the history, tradition and culture of the country.

Second, the main problems in museum management

(A) the lack of sound rules and regulations

Since the beginning of the new century, the state has begun to speed up the construction of public cultural undertakings to ensure the basic cultural needs of the people and improve the level of socialist spiritual civilization construction, and various museums have begun to build rapidly. By 2009, the number of legally registered museums in China has reached 3020, which are 143.8 times and 1949 times and 1978 times respectively, and it is still increasing at the rate of 100 every year. However, with the growth of new museums, the setting of corresponding laws, regulations and rules and regulations obviously lags behind. Whether it is the setting and supervision of new museums, the establishment, design and construction of museum construction projects, the protection of cultural relics, the education and services of museums, etc. The management regulations, monitoring standards and evaluation basis of scientific system have not been established, resulting in a large number of omissions and mistakes in museum management.

(2) There are many potential safety hazards.

20 1 1 In May, the exhibits of the Palace Museum were stolen, which shocked the world. Behind this seemingly accidental incident is the poor security measures of a large number of museums across the country. As the museums in China are public welfare organizations, their operation mainly depends on the national financial allocation, and they barely maintained before the implementation of the free visit policy. After the implementation of free visit, with the sharp increase in the number of visitors, the museum needs to invest a lot of extra service fees, which makes the already tight operating funds even more stretched. Therefore, a large number of museums simply can't configure enough electronic monitoring equipment or add other security facilities, and cultural relics are lost or damaged every year. At the same time, some museum managers lack safety awareness, pay insufficient attention to the importance of safety work, and lack of safety management laws and regulations, which makes the safety problems of many museums in China emerge one after another and difficult to solve.

(3) The quality of managers needs to be improved.

People are the dominant factor to maintain the operation and service of new and existing museums, but at present, only 4.5% of museum managers in China have senior technical titles, and only 13% have intermediate technical personnel. Most of the rest of the staff either lack in-depth research on cultural relics or have no ability to identify cultural relics at all, which makes it impossible to judge substances or behaviors harmful to cultural relics and to deal with them promptly and correctly in case of emergencies. Dealing with cultural relics is a highly professional job. Both the collection and exhibition of cultural relics need scientific, systematic and standardized management. A high-level team of museum managers plays an important role in the survival and development of the whole industry.

(D) The methods and means of cultural relics management are backward.

Under the realistic environment of imperfect rules and regulations, limited capital investment and lack of professional talents, museums all over the country have the same backward management methods and means. A large number of museums still do not have perfect electronic management and monitoring equipment, and almost all of them can only rely on manual management and provide services, with low management efficiency and high management cost.

Third, effective strategies to strengthen museum management

(A) to establish and improve the management system

Since entering the 2nd/kloc-0th century, with the country paying more and more attention to the construction of public cultural undertakings, laws and regulations on cultural relics protection and museum management have been promulgated one after another. China's Cultural Relics Protection Law was revised twice in 2002 and 2007 respectively. In 2003, the State Council promulgated the Regulations on the Implementation of the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics and the Regulations on Public Cultural and Sports Facilities, proposing to manage museums in a more scientific and standardized way. In 2005, the State Council promulgated the "Notice on Strengthening the Protection of Cultural Heritage", proposing? Attach great importance to the construction of museums and improve the level of cultural relics protection and display? Requirements. On June 5438+1 October12006, the Ministry of Culture issued the Measures for the Management of Museums, which defined the status, definition and nature of museums for the first time, formulated relevant systems for the establishment, inspection and termination of museums, and put forward professional and systematic requirements for the management, display and service of cultural relics in the collection. From 20 10 to 1, seven ministries and commissions jointly issued "Opinions on Promoting the Development of Private Museums", which provided policy support for strengthening the management and supervision of private museums and further promoted various national museums to improve their own functions and operation level. The successive promulgation of national policies and regulations has played an important role in promoting the comprehensive and healthy development of the museum industry, and will certainly promote the virtuous circle and sustainable development of the museum industry in China.

(2) Strengthen safety management.

Safety accidents will be punished according to the agreement or guarantee. The superior leadership department shall conduct regular or irregular safety inspections, immediately point out the places where there are security loopholes or management errors, and make rectification within a time limit. After the rectification is completed, conduct re-inspection and establish safety files, and record and file the safety situation in detail.

3. A variety of security measures at the same time. Conditional, comprehensive set of electronic monitoring and management facilities, combined with civil air defense, physical defense, technical defense, dog defense to carry out security work. Conduct regular safety drills and rectify security vulnerabilities in time.

(C) building a high-quality management team

1. Strengthen training and education. Conduct on-the-job technical training for existing employees, and take up their posts after passing the training and assessment, or adjust their posts appropriately according to the assessment results. Those who fail to pass the examination for many times may temporarily stay for post inspection. If they still fail to pass the examination, consider dissolving the employment relationship.

2. Hire high-level technicians. Open recruitment of staff with professional and technical titles for the society, the recruitment process is open and publicized, and new employees must hold certificates.

3. Improve the evaluation mechanism. Establish and improve the performance appraisal system, and evaluate, reward and punish factors such as service quality, safeguard measures and academic performance in daily work. Encourage employees to innovate management methods and create? Innovation? Work atmosphere, actively adopt and apply reasonable suggestions and give material and spiritual rewards.

(D) the introduction of advanced modern management technology

Trying to build? Digital museum? Make full use of Internet, multimedia, audio and video technology to build a virtual museum, which is convenient for people to enjoy cultural relics lasting for thousands of years without leaving home. On the one hand, it avoids the overload pressure brought to the museum by concentrated visits on holidays, on the other hand, it expands the influence of the museum and improves the learning effect. At the same time, improve the electronic management and monitoring facilities in the museum, improve management efficiency and safety, reduce labor costs, and build a systematic and standardized museum management system.

Concluding remarks

The measures taken by the state to vigorously promote the construction of public cultural undertakings are an excellent opportunity to promote the comprehensive and healthy development of museums. Local museum managers should dig deep into the potential cultural value of museums and make full use of national policies to raise museum management to a new height.
