Abstract

Since China entered the modern times after the Opium War, China's museum construction has been gradually established and grown up under the influence of western countries. From the private museum “Nantong Museum” originally funded by the Chinese to many large-scale modern museums funded by the government, the donations and funds provided by many folk collectors, in addition to national policy and fund support, are also the important force for the development and construction of museums. Those collectors are not only collectors of cultural relics but also builders of museums. Taking the collectors who have made important contributions to the development of Chinese museums in modern times as the research objects, this paper discusses them and the museum construction in China.
