Abstract: Operation mechanisms of museums abroad have their own characteristics and are quite different, which are embodied in
the ownership relationship with the governments, the rights and responsibilities of the curators, staff managements, and the sources of
operating funds. At present, the changes in the museum industry are being demonstrated through a more transparent management
approach, an increasing degree of public participation, and technical means to empower operations. The development of the Chinese
museum industry needs to learn from advanced experience, make overall arrangements at the national level, and promote the overall
improvement of the industry through policy support. At the same time, the museum itself should seize the opportunity, promote change,
and seek high-quality development with strategic thinking.
