The first generation of art museum posed the Contemporariness of Art Museum when the first public art museum was born. This Contemporariness involves three dimensions: from exhibition body pursuing international and national characteristic in artistic aesthetics, establishment of democratic institution. Then, the third dimension up above two dimensions is enhanced the national trait by thoughts of aesthetic education. Three dimensions shaped the Contemporariness of china public museum of art that was built up the elitism ideology. When the transition of social form and the elitism ideology transformed into the public ideology, the content of Contemporariness in china public art museum also had changed. The first dimension: the public ideology runs powerful sense of willpower through the public art museum so as to the public ideology understands the cosmopolitan and nationality in basic practice. After the reform and opening, public ideology reconsidered about them in the new historical contexts, which actively participated in international cultures and arts. In this period public art museum is included in the cultural strategy of our nation. The second dimension: the public ideology treats creative main body in contemporary art, narrative manner of art museum, ideas of contemporary art with criticism. So we can conclude that though it goes through twists and turns and finally presented diversified contemporary arts and patterns of art display in the process of seeking the cosmopolitan and nationality. The third dimension: the art museum's objects of explanatory change from General Public to Masses of the People to Social Public. It illustrates that the change of educational targets in their titles develops with the exploration of public art museum's education in localized way.

This content refers that how to construct the situation as whole of china public art museum. Now china has been built up spatial pattern in the southern, northern and central region. The southern is represented by Guangdong art museum. The northern is represented by China art museum. The central is represented by Shanghai art museum. Three art museums combine each the characteristic of local culture and art history to research collections and the retrospect of academic studies. Guangdong art museum engages into the art history of overseas Chinese and Guangdong art history. China art museum dedicates itself into the great artists and their works that concludes exhibitions and collections in china art history. Shanghai art museum focus on Shanghai school and important international artists and their works in collection and exhibition. Local position by three museums is undoubtedly deepened the nationality in body of exhibition through each other publications of documents. Furthermore, value of nationality makes international value of more representatives and even. Meanwhile, three museums can integrate into high quality resources to keep from loses.The conclusion of this thesis is that the Contemporariness of china public museum of art: the Contemporariness is ether under the elite ideology or the public ideology not only compose of important part of china art museum study, but also is proved distinctive feature: cosmopolitan and nationality based on the willpower from country, contemporary art, public education and regional culture.
