"Pretty much all the world's leading museums now believe that providing creative value-added services based on cultural artifacts is one of their key functions, along with display and education," says Chin Shih-hsin, who points out that the Shanghai Museum and the New York Metropolitan Museum have both established their own souvenir companies, and the souvenir division of the Louvre also brings in considerable revenues.
「現今世界各大博物館，大抵都把文物的創意加值，視為在展覽、教育之外的一個重要功能。」金士先指出，上海博物館及紐約大都會博物館都成立了專屬的禮品公司，法國羅浮宮藝品部門的收益也很可觀。
