摘　　要：本讲座分析了“博物馆作为怪物”这一论断。尽管博物馆可能是美丽的和充满希望的,但它们在每个意义上都是怪物般的存在。米切尔从他大量的博物馆参观经历与图像经验出发,分析博物馆之怪物性的多重维度:回顾历史,博物馆展示了稀有和怪异的物品,与政治权力和商业利益密切相关;在现代,博物馆也在与大众娱乐产业竞争,但仍保持着独特的身份;展望未来,虚拟博物馆与元图像的结合将作为人类文明遗迹的存储之地。This lecture analysed the assertion that“museums are monsters”.As beautiful and hopeful as museum may be,they are monsters in every sense.From his extensive experience of museum visits and images,Mitchell analysed the multiple dimensions of the monster nature of museums:historically,museums display rare and bizarre objects,which are closely related to political power and commercial interests;in modern times,museums also compete with the mass entertainment industry,but still maintain a distinct identity;looking to the future,the combination of virtual museums and meta-images will serve as a storage place for the remains of human civilization.
