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. [br] Why does Afghanculturemuseum. org eliminate the debate on whether a museum’s priority should be to display artworks or to preserve them?
选项
A、Because it can replace the traditional museum in the near future.
B、Because it only allows the doctorates to see works that need particular protection.
C、Because when displaying the artworks, it also prevents others from stealing them.
D、Because it almost eliminates the contradiction between displaying and preserving artworks.
答案
D
解析
推理题。由题干关键词Afghanculturemuseum.org eliminate定位到第三段,本段中作者提到现今的数字复制技术对作品本身的损坏程度小,所以它们可以让公众看到那些传统博物馆中只有戴白手套的专家和博士们才能看到的艺术品。由此可推断,虚拟博物馆能消除争论的原因是它将展示和保存艺术品两者很好地统一起来了,几乎使两者之间不再存在矛盾了,所以[D]为正确答案。其他三项都不符合文意,故都排除。
