Despite what you might think from its name, the Museum of Afghan Civilization will be the very model of a modern major museum when it opens in January. It will be housed in an angular, postmodern building, designed by France’s Yona Friedman. It will display the art of Afghanistan from prehistory to today, with works collected from all over the world. And it will have a nifty website, complete with high-definition reproductions and interactive information guides. What the museum won’t have is a front door, a parking lot, or a cafeteria. That’s because the museum is the first designed as a virtual building only.
Why put the objects in an imaginary building, instead of just creating a website full of pictures? Pascale Bastide, President of the Paris-based association Afghanculture, says she hopes that hiring an architect will imbue her project(afghanculturemuseum. org)with the gravitas of a traditional museum, as well as make viewers feel as though they are actively traveling to a museum rather than passively seeing reproductions of its artwork. Bastide is quick to admit that "nothing replaces real contact with an objet d’art(小艺术品,古玩)," but the site’s interactive approach comes close. Visitors will encounter a digital image of Friedman’s design, set against its imagined location: the Bamiyan caves, where two monumental Buddha statues had stood since the fourth century A. D. before being destroyed by the Taliban in 2001. Viewers can spin the building to view it from all sides, then click to enter multimedia "pavilions," which can be organized chronologically, geographically, or thematically. Friedman’s design will serve as the shell. The interior will change just like in a real-world museum, where curators(馆长)erect temporary walls according to an exhibition’s needs. Bricks and mortar(传统实体企业)aside, the Museum of Afghan Civilization will operate like a typical art institution. The website will have a director(Bastide)and a team of curators(a Princeton professor, a French museum conservator, an Afghan archeologist, and an Afghan linguist). Oh, and there’s also a designer with a background in videogames.
Afghanculturemuseum. org obviously isn’t the only museum with a website, but its purely virtual form could affect the traditional museum world. For one thing, it all but eliminates the debate over whether a museum’s priority should be to display artworks or preserve them. Today’s digital reproduction technologies are generally harmless to the art(unlike the light and air in a museum), so they allow the public to see works otherwise accessible only to those with white gloves and doctorates.
Virtual museums still take money to launch; Bastide is looking for $10 million in private and government funding. They won’t make the traditional museums obsolete, either. But their lower maintenance costs and sustainable approach to exhibitions might mean fewer traditional museums created in the future. That said, Bastide hopes that one day, in a stable, democratic Afghanistan, a physical Museum of Afghan Civilization might be built. But for now, the virtual approach will allow the museum to live—without having to exist.
The second paragraph doesn’t claim that the Museum of Afghan Civilization______.
选项
A、can show the gravitas of Afghan civilization better
B、can make viewers feel they are actively traveling to a museum
C、can be organized flexibly according to viewers’ needs
D、will have a designer with a background in videogames
答案
A
解析
细节题。由题干定位到第二段。由第二句提到的雇一个建筑师将传统博物馆的庄严渗透到她的设计中,也能使参观者感觉好像他们确实在博物馆中游览可知,[A]“能更好地展现阿富汗文化的庄严”不符合文意,故为答案。而[B]“能让参观者感觉好像他们确实在博物馆中游览”是符合文意的;又根据本段第五句提到的参观者可点击进入多媒体展览馆,这个展览馆是可以按年代,或按地域,或按主题来安排的可知,[C]符合文意;最后一句提到也有一个有制作视频游戏背景的设计师,由此可知,[D]符合文意。
