The first local standard in the field of museums in our province, “Museum Education Service Specification”, was officially released. Education is an important function of museums. It has unique advantages to make full use of museum resources to carry out various kinds of education for the society. At the same time, only by making the educational service of the museum more standardized can we better play the educational function of the museum. Therefore, it is very important to issue a standard “Museum Education Service Specification”.

Zhejiang Province is rich in museum resources, and the total number of museums ranks among the top in the country. In recent years, by promoting the organic combination of museum resources with classroom teaching and comprehensive practical activities in primary and secondary schools, a long-term mechanism for primary and secondary school students to use museum learning has been established. Museums at all levels in the province have carried out various forms and types of educational activities based on local conditions and characteristics. For example, Zhejiang Nature Museum plans and carries out more than 100 “second class” activities in eight categories, including festival activities, popular science lectures, theme activities and parent-child education; The “Happy Boat Expo” is held in Zhoushan Museum to stimulate students’ interest in actively visiting and studying; The “I am a small curator” activity of the West Lake Museum in Hangzhou allows students to think about the functional orientation of the museum from the perspective of managers, and cultivate students’ ability to think independently.
At the same time, under the new form of “cultural tourism integration”, the provincial museum, as an important position of research and study travel, has planned and launched a number of research and study projects that are popular with primary and secondary students. For example, the Anji Museum of the Zhejiang Natural Museum launched the natural exploration and research course project of “Museum Wonderful Night’s Natural Exploration and Parent-child Journey”, which inspired children’s interest and desire to explore nature through museum research and helped them grow healthily and happily. It was awarded the “First China’s Top Ten Popular Science Brand Project”.
The Museum Education Service Specification is organized and formulated by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, with reasonable structure and extensive content, including the basic requirements of museum education services, service requirements, project service process, education specialists, evaluation and improvement, etc. This standard is issued by Zhejiang Provincial Market Supervision and Administration Bureau and is scheduled to be formally implemented on January 11, 2022. The release and implementation of this standard will certainly help the provincial museum education service to a higher level, and contribute to the construction of cultural self-confidence and cultural power in Zhejiang.
