| Summary: | 碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 博物館學研究所碩士班 === 106 === Museums fundamentally began as human society’s equivalent of cultural memory banks. Traditionally, the main functions of museums have revolved around collecting, preserving, researching and displaying objects for the purpose of education.
Due to globalization, however, a greater emphasis has been placed on exhibitions, interpretations and visitors. Museums have turned from object-oriented into visitor-oriented. Meanwhile, since the concept of New Museology (in the 1980’s), museums offer tangible or intangible services for their existence and development. Significant efforts have been made to rethink interpretation to enrich visitors’ experiences.
Later decades of the 20th century, mass media corporations have become involved with temporary exhibitions. In Taiwan, museums collaborating with mass media corporations to organize exhibitions became a pervasive trend starting in the 1990’s. With this trend, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the educational effect of the interpretation and to analyze the visiting experience from the viewpoints of visitors with varying pre-existing understandings of art history.
This is a case study of narratives of touring exhibit at museums “Musée d'Orsay: The Aesthetic worlds of the 19th century” at NPM, Taipei, 2017. After I conducted in-depth interview and analysis, the conclusions had been found: The interpretation of exhibit and visitor's pre-understanding are disconnected because the exhibition is unilateral narrative. In terms of Museum’s function, the educational effect is a sort of lost and disorganized in this exhibition.
