On July 24th, Chengdu Universiade Museum officially opened its doors to the public. This marks the first time in the history of the Universiade that a theme museum has been made accessible to the public before the games' opening ceremony.
The Chengdu Universiade Museum showcases the history of the Universiade since its inception in 1959. It comprehensively embodies the spirit of the Universiade and serves as a vital platform for promoting Universiade culture worldwide. It is also a precious gift from Chengdu to the world.
So, what exactly are the heavy-hitting collections inside the Chengdu Universiade Museum, and what Guangdong elements can be found among the exhibits?
Currently, the museum has gathered nearly 80,000 pieces of various collectibles, images, and electronic documents. Besides valuable items from this edition of the Universiade, the museum has also acquired important collections like medals, torches, and mascots from previous Universiades, holding significant historical value.
Upon entering the museum, visitors are greeted by a panda sculpture. On January 17th, 2019, during the foundation ceremony at Dong'an Lake Sports Park, the attendees left their blessings for Chengdu on this panda sculpture. During this year's Universiade in Chengdu, participating athletes will be invited to leave their signatures on the sculpture too. This panda sculpture is set to become the museum's permanent centerpiece.
Among the exhibits, the items from the 26th Universiade in Shenzhen are impressive.
The torch of the Shenzhen Universiade features bright colors with red and yellow as the primary hues, featuring the sun and symbolizing the spirit of youth and the sacred flame. The vibrant slices around it represent university students of various skin colors and cultural backgrounds coming together.
Also on display is the mascot of the Shenzhen Universiade, "UU", evolved from the 2011 Shenzhen World Universiade emblem "Happy U". It forms the letter "U", which represents "UNIVERSIADE", the abbreviation for World University Games.
The museum also features a model of the Universiade Center of the Shenzhen Universiade. Through this array of exhibits, visitors can easily perceive the grandeur of the Shenzhen Universiade and the organizers' dedication. The pioneering and open-minded spirit of Guangdong is vividly embodied in these displays.
As the Chengdu Universiade progresses, the museum's exhibits will become even more abundant. In the future, more citizens will have the chance to visit the museum and experience the youthful energy of the Chengdu Universiade up close.
打卡成都大运博物馆,这些广东元素很亮眼
7月24日,成都大运会博物馆正式开馆。这是世界大运会历史上首家在比赛开幕前向公众开放的大运主题博物馆。
成都大运会博物馆记录了自1959年首届世界大运会举办以来的珍贵历程。它全面诠释了世界大运会的精神,是系统宣传世界大运会文化的重要载体,也是成都大运会奉献给世界的珍贵礼物。
在成都大运会博物馆内究竟有哪些重磅馆藏?这些展品中又有哪些广东元素呢?
目前,成都大运会博物馆已征集各类藏品、影像及电子文档资料近8万件。除本届大运会珍贵实物外,博物馆还征集到世界大运会历史上具有重要价值的奖牌、火炬、吉祥物等重要藏品。
走进成都大运会博物馆,映入眼帘的便是一个熊猫雕塑。2019年1月17日,东安湖体育公园正式奠基当日,与会嘉宾在它的身上留下了对成都的祝福。而在今年成都大运会举办期间,来成都参赛的运动员也会受邀来到成都大运会博物馆,继续在上面签名。这个熊猫雕塑将会成为成都大运会博物馆未来永久的一号藏品。
在博物馆内,深圳第26届大运会的相关展品令人印象深刻。
深圳大运会的火炬色彩非常鲜艳,以红黄为主色,体现阳光的色彩,寓意青春与圣火的色彩。其余多彩的切片象征着地球各种肤色、各种文化背景的大学生欢聚在一起。
还有深圳大运会的吉祥物“UU”也在展区中展出,“UU”是由深圳2011年世界大运会会徽“欢乐的U”演变而成的一张笑脸,同时,它又具有“UNIVERSIADE”(世界大学生运动会的英文)的首写字母“U”的形态。
当然,馆内还有深圳大运会的主体育场春茧模型。从这一系列展品中,来到现场的观众不难看出当年深圳大运会的盛况以及举办方的用心,广东人前卫开放、勇于开拓的精神都体现在展品当中。
随着成都大运会的进行,展馆里的展品也会越来越丰富。未来也会有更多的市民走进博物馆,近距离感受成都大运会的青春活力。
