Book excerpt: From the earliest museums established by Western missionaries in order to implement religious and political power, to the role they have played in the formation of the modern Chinese state, the origin and development of museums in mainland China differ significantly from those in the West. The occurrence of museums in mainland China in the late nineteenth century was primarily a result of internal and external conflicts, Westernization and colonialism, and as such they were never established solely for enjoyment and leisure. Using a historical and anthropological framework, this book provides a holistic and critical review on the establishment and development of museums in mainland China from 1840 to the present day, and shows how museums in China have been used by a wide range of social, political, and state actors for a number of economic, religious, political and ideological purposes. Indeed, Tracey L-D Lu examines the key role played by museums in reinforcing social segmentation, influencing the economy, protecting cultural heritage and the construction and enhancement of ethnic identities and nationalism, and how they have throughout their history helped the powerful to govern the less powerful or the powerless. More broadly, this book provides important comparative insights on museology and heritage management, and questions who the key stakeholders are, how museums reflect broader social and cultural changes, and the relationship between museum and heritage management. Drawing on extensive archival research and anthropological fieldwork, as well as the author’s experience working as a museum curator in mainland China in the late 1980s, Museums in China such will be of great interest to students and scholars working across museology, heritage studies, tourism studies Chinese culture and Chinese history.

Book excerpt: An examination of museums in China, surveying their development from the nineteenth century, and looking in particular at their incredible recent proliferation. Museums in China have undergone tremendous transformations since they first appeared in the country in the late nineteenth century. Futuristic, state-of-the-art museums have today become symbols of China's global cultural, economic and technological prominence, and over the last two decades, the number of Chinese museums has increased at an unprecedented rate, with China set to become the country with the highest number of museums in the world. But why have museums become so important? This book, based on extensive research in a number of the museums themselves, examines recent changes in their display methods, narratives, actors and architectural style. It also considers their representations of Chinese national identity, millenarian history and extraordinary cultural diversity. Through an analysis of the changes affecting not only what we observe through museums, but also the very medium of observation (i.e. museums themselves), this book provides a unique, original and timely exploration of the ongoing changes affecting Chinese society, and an evaluation of their consequences. Dr Marzia Varutti is apost-doctoral fellow at the Centre for Museum Studies, Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages, University of Oslo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shanghai Museum is the finest museum of modern China - in terms of wealth of collection, display and architecture. Originally built in 1952 on the site of the old race course, it re-opened in 1993 in a startling new building in Renmin Square in the heart of central Shanghai. Designed in the shape of an ancient bronze ding, opposite the new City Hall and the new Opera House, it provides an iconic symbol of the staggering new wealth, power and taste of the city of Shanghai. The building was financed largely by the Shanghai City government. The collections have been hugely enhanced by a large number of gifts from outside China, many from prominent overseas Chinese collectors. Each of the nine galleries is of world class in its own right. The displays are among the most modern in the world, and the most sophisticated. Alone amongst China's major museums, a large proportion of its collection of 120,000 objects is displayed. The lighting, presentation and labelling (in English as well as Chinese) is crisp, accurate and informative. There are nine major collections, all important and representative, with items of the highest quality: The Ancient Bronze Collection is unique and the most unexpected of them all. The others are: Sculpture, Ceramics, Painting, Calligraphy, Seals, Jades, Ming and Qing Furniture, Coins, and the Arts and Crafts of the Minority Nationalities. The multitude of visitors includes not only foreigners, but also a cross-section of Chinese society. The Shanghai Museum not only gives the visitor an unparalleled view of Chinese art, but also an insight into modern China's perception of its visual culture. SELLING POINTS: *Association with a major Chinese cultural institution, close to the heart of the new Chinese self-awareness but wholly uncontentious. The book will be the official souvenir guide to the whole collection *The book will be the indispensable purchase for every visitor, both Chinese and foreign. It will be guaranteed display in China's finest museum, and will have a life of a decade or more *Introduction by Chen Xiejen, Director of the Museum *Will be published in the internationally renowned format of Scala Publishers, the world's leading publisher of books for museums e.g. The Prado, The Uffizi, The Louvre, The National Gallery Washington, amongst many others 417 colour illustrations

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 19th century Shanghai was a prosperous center of trade with the West, and external influences combined with established cultural traditions to ensure that a lively artistic scene developed. This book is a rare opportunity to discover some of the exquisite paintings from the Shanghai Museum. Superb color illustrations accompany entries on individual artists. Many of the paintings represented were created for the home market rather than for export and reveal diverse and unusual views of China.
