小题1:

It was convinced that historical relics provide evidence about the past. Such conviction was, until recently, reflected in museum displays. Museums used to look - and some still do - much like storage rooms of objects packed together in showcases: good for scholars to study, but not for the average visitor, to whom it all looked alike.

小题2:

Recently, however, attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented have become different. The key word in heritage display is now ‘experience’, the more exciting the better and, if possible, involving all the senses. On so called heritage sites computers will soon provide reality experiences, which will present visitors with a vivid image of the period of their choice, in which they themselves can act as if part of the historical environment. Such developments have been criticized by some experts, but the success of many historical theme parks suggests that the majority of the public does not share this opinion.

小题3:

In a related development, the sharp distinction between museum and heritage sites on the one hand, and theme parks on the other is gradually evaporating(蒸发). They already borrow ideas and concepts from one another. For example, museums have adopted storylines for exhibitions, sites have accepted ‘theming’ as a relevant tool, and theme parks are moving towards more realness and research-based presentations.

小题4:

Theme parks are undergoing other changes, too, as they try to present more serious social and cultural issues, and move away from fantasy. This development is a response to market forces and exhibits must be both based on artifacts and facts as we know them, and attractively presented. Those who are professionally working in the art of interpreting(诠释) history are thus in a difficult position, as they must manage a narrow course between the demands of ‘evidence’ and ‘attractiveness’, especially given the increasing need in this industry for income making activities.

小题5:

It could be claimed that in order to make everything in heritage more ‘real’, historical accuracy must be increasingly changed. For example, in the Museum of Natural History in Washington, Neanderthal man is shown making a commanding gesture to his wife. Such presentations tell us more about contemporary understandings of the world than about our ancestors. In fact if the professionals did not provide the interpretation, visitors would do it for themselves, based on their own ideas, misconceptions and prejudices. And no matter how exciting the result, it would contain a lot more bias(偏见) than the presentations provided by experts.
