继发布“博物馆的力量”作为2022年国际博物馆日主题后,为便于世界博物馆领域和社会公众更好地理解主题内涵,近日国际博协对该主题进行了阐释,具体如下:
博物馆有能力改变我们周围的世界。
作为无可比拟的发现之地,博物馆教会我们了解自己的过去,并打开我们的思想去接受新的观点,而这正是人们构建更美好未来的两个基本步骤。在2022年5月18日国际博物馆日,我们希望通过三个视角探讨博物馆为其社区带来积极变化的潜力。
实现可持续发展的力量。博物馆是实施联合国可持续发展目标(SDGs)的战略伙伴。作为当地社区的关键参与者,博物馆广泛地为SDGs不同目标的实现做出贡献,其中包括促进社会经济以及传播有关环境挑战的科学信息。
数字化与可及性创新的力量。博物馆已经成为创新的乐园,新技术在这里可得以发展并应用于日常生活。数字化创新让博物馆更容易接近和参与,帮助观众理解复杂且精细的概念。
通过教育进行社区建设的力量。博物馆通过其藏品和活动,为社区建设提供了关键性的社会架构。通过维护民主的价值观和为所有人提供终身学习的机会,博物馆为塑造一个知情的、可参与的公民社会做出了贡献。
在国际博物馆日来临之际,我们邀请大家与世界各地成千上万的博物馆一起,释放博物馆的力量!

International Museum Day 2022: The Power of Museums
Museums have the power to transform the world around us.
As incomparable places of discovery, they teach us about our past and open our minds to new ideas — two essential steps in building a better future. On International Museum Day 2022, which will take place on May 18th, we want to explore the potential of museums to bring about positive change in their communities through three lenses:
The power of achieving sustainability: Museums are strategic partners in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. As key actors in their local communities, they contribute to a wide variety of Goals, which include fostering short-circuit and social economy and disseminating scientific information on environmental challenges.
The power of innovating on digitalisation and accessibility: Museums have become innovative playing-grounds where new technologies can be developed and applied to everyday life. Digital innovation can make museums more accessible and engaging, helping audiences understand complex and nuanced concepts.
The power of community building through education: Through its collections and programmes, museums thread a social fabric that is essential in community building. By upholding democratic values and providing life-long learning opportunities to all, they contribute to shaping an informed and engaged civil society.
In this edition of International Museum Day, we invite you to join thousands of museums around the world in unleashing the power of museums!
