The National Museum rejects the selfie stick Hangzhou will increase its security inspection facilities in the future

Zhejiang Online March 28th In the past two years, various “self-timer artifacts” have taken a hit, especially since the selfie stick has been sought after by many fashion people. As long as the mobile phone, camera and other camera devices fixed on the self-timer lever, through the Bluetooth connection and remote control, you can achieve multi-angle self-timer, it is indeed very convenient to use.

However, the controversy over the selfie stick has always been great. A number of foreign museums issued "orders for ordering passengers" and tourists are prohibited to bring their own selfie sticks into the museum.

On March 25th, the National Museum of China released the “Notice on prohibiting the use of self-timer and other photographic add-on devices” and required that “self-timer, tripod, and other photographic attachments be prohibited from using in the museum from now on.”

This provision marks that the National Museum of China officially said “no” to the self-timer. For a time, netizens had heated discussions. Some people said that it wasn’t self-timer to look at the exhibition; some people said that everyone wanted to shoot a wonderful shot. Still Others said there would be no compromise.

Yesterday, this reporter visited several museums in Hangzhou to find traces of “selfie artifacts”.

Visits

Hangzhou Museum

Someone is using a selfie stick

Compared to other parts of the country, the museums in Hangzhou are also quite numerous.

The most famous Zhejiang Provincial Museum, founded in 1929, is the largest comprehensive humanities museum in our province. It contains more than 100,000 pieces of cultural relics and is also a national first-class museum.

It is divided into two pavilions, Gushan Pavilion and Wulin Pavilion. On prime days such as weekends and holidays, there are many tourists visiting.

At 10:00 a.m. yesterday morning, the reporter went to Gushan District and saw many tourists are seriously visiting. In the ceramic building of the main building, the reporter encountered Huang Aunt from Jiangxi Province. She looked at a piece of pottery for a long time and took out her cell phone to take several pictures.

"I like the bottle and canister stuff. I don't want to open the flash. There should be no problem with taking a few pictures," said Huang Aunt.

The reporter walked around several halls and did not see tourists taking selfies with selfie sticks. “The tourist season of the West Lake Scenic Area in spring has arrived. There is a large flow of people in the Gushan Pavilion area. There are thousands of people visiting every day.” The staff of the Provincial Museum told reporters that there are many tourists who have taken selfie sticks and other equipment, he has seen many.

Later, the reporter went to the Su Dongpo Memorial Hall and the Tangyun Art Museum. He also saw many tourists taking photos with their mobile phones. “Usually when I've seen the selfie stick come in, it's only occasional.” Tang Yun Art Museum staff said, “We sometimes show some 'nude paintings' and we’re afraid that the selfie stick will affect the painting.”

Hangzhou Museum

There is no provision that self-timer bars cannot be used

“When we see someone using the selfie stick, they will immediately remind him to pay attention, but there is no mandatory measure, but it is recommended not to use it.” Mr. Huang said that some areas in the museum area are allowed to take pictures, and some areas are explicitly prohibited from taking pictures. At the same time, there will be prominent logos on the walls of relevant areas to remind tourists to pay attention, and at the same time there will be staff members to guide and manage them.

The reporter saw that in some areas clearly marked as unable to take pictures, tourists picked up their mobile phones to take pictures, and the staff on the side immediately went to dissuade them.

In addition, the Gushan Museum District main building, the West Lake Museum of Art, etc. will hold different temporary exhibitions from time to time every year, usually for a period of one or two months, sometimes some of the cultural relics will be “naked exhibition”, there is no special protection measures, in this Under the circumstances, selfie sticks are not recommended for carrying.

The reporter saw the West Lake Museum located on Nanshan Road. Here, it is explicitly forbidden for tourists to take photographs of the exhibits. However, whether or not the selfie stick is allowed to be brought in, West Lake Museum staff said that there is no relevant provision for the time being.

The Hangzhou Tairen Memorial Museum affiliated Zhang Taiyan Memorial Hall, Su Dongpo Memorial Hall, Yu Qianlong, Tang Yun Museum of Art, Mr. Zhang Cangshui Memorial Hall, and Stuart Leiden’s former residence are seven venues. They are also calling on everyone not to bring a selfie stick to visit.

“There is no trivial matter for cultural relics protection. Any potential dangers must be avoided,” said Chen Jie, director of the Research Department of Hangzhou Celebrity Memorial. “Although the Hangzhou Museum has not officially introduced relevant regulations to disable selfie sticks, we recommend that everyone consciously Do not use."

Many museums at home and abroad

Formally says "no" to the selfie stick

Today, with the ever-changing science and technology, many "tools" that suit people's special needs have been invented. The selfie stick is one of them.

It is so hot because it satisfies many people's self-portraits. Just fix the phone or camera on one end of the pole, stretch the pole, place a group of people together and gently press the remote control... and get it!

This "magic pole" that has become so popular around the world has been counted by Time magazine as one of the 25 best inventions in 2014. It can overcome the shortcomings of "small short hand" and make self-timer very easy.

However, the "self-portrait artifact" suffered a lot of embarrassment. According to reports, the National Gallery of Britain, the Palace of Versailles in France, the Colosseum in Rome, the Albertina Museum in Vienna, and a number of American museums and art galleries have forbidden tourists from taking selfie sticks to visit the museum.

At the same time as the “ban on bans” issued abroad, in mid-March this year, the relevant responsible person of the Palace Museum said that the National Palace Museum recommends that visitors not use self-timer bars when they visit, especially in densely populated and space-constrained exhibition halls and areas. The discovery of similar phenomena will be stopped as appropriate.

The most noteworthy news is that on March 25th this year, the China National Museum officially issued the “Notice on prohibiting the use of self-timer and other photographic add-on devices,” stating that “in order to protect the safety of exhibits, maintain the order of visits and visit the environment, It is forbidden to use self-timer, tripod, and other photographic attachments in the museum."

Museums and art galleries in Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, and Guangdong also stated that they may impose relevant regulations on “selfie artifacts”.

Selfie stick may endanger artifacts and visitors' safety

So many museums have to reject self-promotional poles. What has been wrong with it?

Chen Jie to Su Dongpo Memorial Hall, for example, "from March to June, West Lake usher in the tourist season, there are thousands of people to visit the Su Dongpo Memorial Museum every day, you think about that scene, the museum's indoor space are relatively narrow, all of a sudden With so many people gathered, there would be pressure to manage it. At this time, if there are still people using self-timer rods that can flex freely, accidentally it will easily hurt other tourists."

This reason has also been confirmed by Mr. Zeng. "For example, in the Gushan Pavilion of the Zhejiang Museum, when there are the most people in the peak season, there will be tens of thousands of people a day. You wave it with a pole, in such an open environment and in a narrow In space, it may be a person who turns to the side."

This potential danger is what museum managers are most worried about.

“The artifacts in our museum are all in the glass display cabinet, which is relatively good, but the 'naked exhibition' is most afraid of selfie sticks.” Mr. Huang said, “especially ancient paintings, some of them contain mineral raw materials, There are special requirements, flash, etc. can not be used."

Tang Yun Art Museum often holds famous paintings and exhibits without glass separation. If it is accidentally scratched by a selfie stick, the consequences are often irreversible.

“The exhibition “Unlicensed Heritage” was the most test of the quality of tourists. I had visited the Cambodian Angkor National Museum. The sculptures of Angkor Wat were used as exhibition themes. They were all “naked exhibitions”, that is, they were presented in 360 degree without glass. In front of tourists, if a tourist uses a selfie stick, he accidentally hits the sculpture. When it loses its balance and falls to the ground, it becomes fragmented, Chen Jie said.

Hangzhou museum will increase security inspection facilities in the future

“The self-timer rod can be freely stretched out of reach, and a small number of unconscious tourists will use it to touch the artifacts.” Mr. Huang said, “Do not touch artifacts and display equipment” is a general museum tour The content that will all be mentioned, hope everybody consciously abides by.

In fact, in addition to selfie sticks, tripods, flash and other photography equipment have been banned by a number of museums in Hangzhou.

"A lot of people are very serious when they are visiting. When they go all the way, they don't look under their feet. They hold a tripod on the ground. What to do if they stumble?" said Mr. Hime, so tripods are forbidden in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum. The use of a flash is prohibited. Even in areas where photographing is allowed, the flash cannot be used.

In order to better protect cultural relics, Zhejiang Provincial Museum has done a lot of work. For example, when exhibiting ancient calligraphy and painting, add a layer of Acrylic plexiglass to the calligraphy and painting to minimize external damage to the artifacts.

Tourists who want to visit the West Lake Museum and other places must firstly consciously accept the security inspection. However, there are no relevant security inspection facilities for museums in Zhejiang Province.

“We are now preparing to install security inspection facilities.” Mr. Hung said that items that cannot be brought into the museum in the future will be intercepted on this “first line of defense”. Visitors need to deposit items that may be dangerous to museums before they can Enter the hall.

“In fact, most of the exhibits in the museum are external glass showcases. The photographs will be reflected and there will be reflections. It is not good-looking,” Mr. Hwang said. Instead of taking photos in the museum, visitors would like to enjoy the exhibition.
