Click 'like' to cancel 'closed on Monday' for the museum

2023-08-24

According to reports, 46 museums in Beijing have cancelled the "closed on Monday" policy during the summer period (August 18th to August 31st) and are open to visitors every day. Prior to this, museums in many places have also adjusted their opening hours from "closed on Mondays" to open every day. The tradition of "closing on Monday" has a long history and is also a common practice in many museums worldwide. This is because after a heavy weekend passenger flow, the museum is in great need of "rest" - the facilities need maintenance, the facilities need maintenance, and the exhibits need maintenance. In recent years, the "museum craze" has continued to heat up, and visiting museums has become a new way of life and social trend. Compared to the strong demand for museum visits among the general public, some museums are facing an awkward situation where their services are in short supply. Since the summer of this year, there have been frequent reports of popular museums being "hard to get a ticket" and queues outside museums, which is a manifestation of the contradiction between supply and demand of museum services. In this situation, people are calling on museums to cancel the tradition of "closing on Monday", extend opening hours, and increase service supply. Nowadays, multiple museums in different places have cancelled the "Monday closure" policy, which is a response to public calls and reflects the museum industry's "people-centered" service philosophy. We should like this! Cancelling the "closed on Monday" policy has made it convenient for the public, but it has also objectively increased the workload of the museum. How to increase the opening hours without reducing the quality of exhibitions tests the management and service level of museums. If the normalization and long-term effect of "closing on Monday" is cancelled, relying solely on the efforts of the museum itself is not enough, and relevant departments need to provide supporting support in terms of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. The "museum craze" reflects the strong spiritual and cultural needs of the people. With the increasing abundance of material life and the improvement of education level, people's spiritual and cultural needs will continue to grow. It is certain that the "museum craze" will not only continue, but also become increasingly popular. In the future, facing the increasingly strong demand for visitors to museums, it may not be enough for museums to simply cancel "closed on Mondays" and extend their opening hours. They must also keep up with the times, innovate service forms, increase service content, and improve service levels. The character of a museum should be public welfare, openness, and professionalism. The quality of a museum should be high appearance, high quality, and high quality. The taste of a museum should be lifestyle oriented, international, and digital. In the past few years, various regions have continuously innovated the service forms of museums, such as moving art activities and art markets into museums in some places; Some use new technologies to add digital wings to cultural relics, allowing them to meet the audience in the "cloud"; Some invite visitors to experience immersive interaction in museums; Some let cultural relics "flow" and broaden the service scope of museums... All these attempts and explorations have opened up a new Xintiandi of museum services, provided new paths and accumulated new experience for museums to innovate service forms and increase service content. Museums are an important battlefield for enriching people's spiritual and cultural life, an indispensable part of the modern public cultural service system, and play an important role in building a modern public cultural service system. Public service never ends
