Meeting, November 8th 2011, 5.30pm, Marischal Museum, 'A (Chinese) Night at the Museum.'
The 2011/2012 opening meeting of the Aberdeen Chinese Studies Group proved to be an enjoyable and enlightening event. The group had been invited to spend, 'A (Chinese) Night at the Museum,' in the company of Neil Curtis. Neil is Senior Curator in Marischal Museum where he has worked since 1988 and Honorary Senior Lecturer in Anthropology. He is Secretary of University Museums in Scotland and the Aberdeen and North-East Section of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and a member of the Scottish Museums Council’s Working Party on Human Remains.
Neil Curtis kindly opened the museum for the Aberdeen Chinese Studies Group (public access is currently unavailable) and made available selected Chinese items from the Marischal Anthropological Museum collection for perusal and discussion.
He began the meeting with a brief history of the museum explaining how objects came to be found there in the first place. This could have been due to travellers bringing back artefacts either for themselves or as gifts – or even collectors acquiring items, shall we say, through stealth!
After this introduction, the group was taken behind the scenes to the museum’s vast storage area. Box after box of Chinese textiles, garments, shoes, weapons, ceramics were made available for scrutiny and discussion. Prior to the meeting, Mr Curtis had said that the number of Chinese items stored by the museum was limited. To untutored eyes, the number seemed quite substantial.
It is hoped that members of the group will respond to this event with information and ideas about how to present items from this collection to the public. Many thanks to Neil Curtis for not only for presenting items of specific interest to Chinese Studies but also for demonstrating the enthusiasm, knowledge and creativity required to bring museums to life.
Next Meeting: December 13th, Julian Ward, Chinese Film (title and venue t/b/a). All welcome.
