Today is International Museum Day. The reporter will take you to see the private museums in Foshan
Today is International Museum Day. Many museums across the city have launched activities to welcome this festival. The reporter learned that there are 30 to 40 museums of all sizes in the city, of which 6 are listed for private museums. Although Foshan’s private museums have not been developing for a long time, because they evolved from private clubs for entrepreneurs and collectors, private museums now bear more social responsibilities, so some of the private collections they collect have gradually moved towards citizens. To this end, on International Museum Day, the reporter will take you to see the collections in private museums.

Highlights
Xuan Jinglong Museum: See the stone page Manhan full ceremonies and enjoy APEC gifts Nasha Show films
Located in Jiujiang, Nanhai, Xuan Jinglong Museum is a museum mainly displaying stone culture. Its predecessor was the Zangpuju Art Museum established in 2008. The collection is mainly natural strange stones, with traditional furniture, ancient ceramic calligraphy and paintings, etc.
On a large round table in the museum, grilled suckling pig, roast chicken, roast duck, and peeled eggs are caught in the eyes. After seeing this, foodies in the unknown will definitely leave after seeing it. However, when I walked in and looked closely, I found that the shapes of these dishes were made up of stones of different sizes, which made people sigh that there was a large table of "Manchu and Han banquets". According to reports, the collection is called "The Feast of Stones". Although it is not very expensive, it took the director Zhao Xuefen a lot of thought to collect a large table of strange stones. "Flying everywhere, as long as you hear who there is, you will run over." Zhao Xuefen said.
has many collections in the natural and other categories, among which Nashaxiu is worth mentioning. I wonder if you have ever remembered that at the APEC meeting held last year, did we give the nasha show bags to the wives of ministers of various countries? Part of the Nasha Show film on the bag is from Sister Fen's collection.
In addition, the museum also contains a lot of dotted jade flowing out of the palace. The traditional Han metal craftsmanship then carefully inlaid the bright blue feathers on the back of the kingfisher on the metal base to make various jewelry objects.
Edrey Underwear Museum: Have you seen the underwear of the French Lord’s wife 150 years ago?
Walk into a museum on Hexi Avenue in Yanbu, Nanhai. A series of exhibits such as Han Dynasty heartwear, Song Dynasty strapless, Yuan Dynasty Hehuan Palm, Ming Dynasty main waist, Qing Dynasty bellyband and other exhibits have a close contact with your underwear. This is the Ideli Underwear Museum. According to reports, the museum was established in 2013.
As the first underwear museum in the country, the museum has collections of underwear of various dynasties and styles in China, and some windows of the museum also contain underwear worn by many Western celebrities, the most famous of which is the underwear worn by a French lord. According to Zeng Ziyang, the head of the underwear museum, this underwear is the first set of adjustable underwear worn by a French lord wife in 1875, and it has a history of 150 years.
However, since it is a personal property, it seems difficult to collect underwear collections. The reporter learned that in order to collect the collection, they have posted solicitation notices on online platforms such as WeChat and Weibo, and also recruited underwear from the society with historical or famous people, but the effect is average. Finally, Wei Zhiqiang, director of the Edrey Underwear Museum, found more than 100 collections based on his connections accumulated through hard work in the underwear industry.
Fuhou Museum: Eight Immortals Table Magazine Cover
Imperial Chair, Red Sandalwood Screen, Hainan Huanghuali Wood Eight Immortals Table... The richness of history has been passed down to people's eyes through time and space. The Fuhou Museum, located in Xiqiao Town, Nanhai, Foshan, was built in 2011 and covers a total area of 1,577 square meters, mainly displaying furniture from the Qing Dynasty and other eras. As the first private museum in South China Sea to hold a "certified" , Fuhou Museum has been free for citizens to visit since last year , and its collection of more than 400 pieces of furniture from the Qing Dynasty and other eras is impressive , and the museum has 10 exhibition halls .
When it comes to collecting items, Li Yongluo, the administrative director of Fuhou Museum, introduced that the rosewood screen in the late Qing Dynasty was a good collecting item. "The red sandalwood screen is preserved in a relatively complete manner, with a total of twelve pieces." Li Yongluo said that because the red sandalwood is relatively expensive, it is second only to Hainan Huanghuali, and only some officials can afford it. The multiple exquisite patterns on the screen tell different myths and show a strong Lingnan style. Fully hand-made carving skills and precious wood give it great value. "Previously, collectors were willing to buy it at a high price of 2 million yuan. However, since it was a cultural relic, we were not willing to sell it."
In addition to the red sandalwood screen, the Hainan Huanghuali Eight Immortals Table in the museum is also a star. It is natural to say that the materials are expensive and the varieties are rare. It is also awesome by just being featured on the covers of cultural relics magazines in the province and cities several times.
Problem
Funds, talents, and land plague the development of private museums
During the development process, problems encountered by private museums follow one after another, among which funds, technology, talents, and land seem to be problems that everyone encounters.
Zhao Xuefen started her own collection journey in the 1980s. She established the Zangpuju Art Museum in 2008, and then established the Xuanjinglong Museum at the end of 2012. "From the business owner to the museum director, the social responsibility must be borne greater." Zhao Xuefen said that in order to ensure the operation of the museum, she stopped her own garment factory. Currently, the museum is supported by a physical clothing store opened by his eldest son.
Zeng Ziyang said: "The maintenance fee of museums exceeds 300,000 yuan per year is also a considerable expense."
solves the problem
takes advantage of the cultural industry to revitalize the problems encountered by private museums. On the one hand, enterprises are using the concept of cultural industry to spawn their own products, and on the other hand, the government also implements support for private museums in various policies. How to pass on the museum more vividly, Zhao Xuefen admitted: "I hope it is an industrial chain." Next, she will use the museum's platform to create green catering and boutique hotels. Her son, Mr. Tan, hopes that the government will develop surrounding attractions with ties.
It is understood that Foshan City has also formulated relevant policies. "It is an important measure to help through public and private organizations," said an industry insider. Gan Qixia, member of the Standing Committee of Chancheng District Party Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department, said yesterday that she is currently conducting research and conducting relevant support policies.
Zhiduo D:
Private museums must be qualified
According to statistics from Foshan Municipal Cultural Department, there are currently 6 registered private museums in the city, and more than 20 have not been officially registered or are applying for registration. The reporter learned that formal private museums need to apply to the cultural relics administrative department in accordance with the "Museum Management Measures". In this process, not only do the applicants need to provide various materials to prove the opening qualifications, but also the competent authority needs to organize experts to determine the value of the collections owned by the museum.
's relatively strict approval process ensures the public service level of regular private museums. What can be officially called a "private museum" not only requires valuable collections, but also has corresponding regulations on daily operations such as ownership of the building and the source of funds.
