Jing’an will be at the heart of city culture
Print Edition
THE new Jing’an District will turn itself into a zone of museums for history and culture protection, authorities said yesterday at a cultural workshop.
The new district, combining the original Jing’an and Zhabei districts, currently has 60 museums in existence, or being constructed or being planned.
Displays include revolutionary memorials, cultural heritage, industrial artefacts, and collections in communities and schools, as well as private museums.
To make the most of the rich resources, the district will not only maintain and develop its museums by different industries and types, but also make use of the historic communities in the area to create a vivid environment for visitors to experience historical culture at actual sites.
One such community being renovated is the Dongsiwenli, one of the largest and oldest downtown shikumen communities in Shanghai. Dongsiwenli will serve as a place for cultural entertainment after being revamped.
Combined with traditional exhibition methods, high technology will be introduced into museums to help to save and promote precious heritage.
All industrial museums, community and school museums, as well as private operations will be integrated into the new Jing’an cultural service system.
Authorities also said they would explore ways to promote development of the 20 or so private museums in the district, most of which are struggling operations.
