1. If you want to know the academic origin of museums, compare Fu Zhenlun's Introduction to Museology with the Soviet Union's Fundamentals of Museology.

2. If you want to know the basic knowledge of museums, please read Wang Hongjun's Fundamentals of Museology in China.

3. To understand one aspect of western museology, please read Kenneth Hudson's Museums in the 1980s-An Overview of World Trends.

4. If you want to do some research on museology, you can look at Meng Jianming's Outline of Museology Research. At least some important works before the 1990s are collected here.

By the way, Jilin University's museum science ranks second in the country. If you like it, you are welcome!
