For the past several decades in Taiwan, visitors adhered unconsciously only limited reality of objects under the political and economic power of the museums. Whereas the curfew was lifted by the government since 1987, the new museology was implied the concept of referring to the mass culture instead of political force, signs of a greater culture accessibly from being exclusive and socially divisive institutions have emerged, the museology movement towards a more visitor-centered ethos can be corresponding to the identity of an old-and-new history, community and city life in which communication between visitors and museums is launched. According to the definition from American Association of Museums (AAM) ascertains a museum as “a permanent institution, non-profit seeking…for the purpose of conserving and preserving, studying, interpreting, assembling, and exhibiting to the public for its instruction and enjoyment objects and specimens of educational and cultural value, including artistic, scientific, historical and technological material.”, it illustrats espcially the importance of public interest and the existence of leisure to the museums. Since 1990, there has been increasing attention to the new meseology for the museums, which makes their dreams come true especially into both unique and historical value of objects to the living for people in the community. A major attention of this research has been paid to explore the visitors experience at Taipei Story House which is an adaptive reuse house of heritage fromVilla Yuansan, and furthermore, to understand the interaction and feedback among individuals and groups of visitors of what they are seeking in museums. In particular, the results will be made to help visitors and museums to build their own concept of leisure in the context of new museology.
