국립민속박물관 어린이박물관 전시의 변화 양상 고찰

Abstract

The public in modern society is deviating from consuming the information given by museums. It is changing into a form of active intervention. The Children’s Museum is applied with a display technique that provides a hands-on experience of five senses. It is a newly created museum with a different concept from the existing museum because it has experience and viewing. The Brooklyn Children’s Museum, the world’s first children’s museum, also valued hands-on learning. Children’s museums in Korea also emphasized the process of touching, manipulating and learning exhibits by hand. The Children’s Museum at the National Folk Museum of Korea also organized the exhibition through experience and play. And The Children’s Museum tried to link up with the school curriculum. Since 2008, it has applied storytelling techniques. It was a new exhibition that other children’s museums had never thought of. The exhibition was not organized over time. The scenes of the story were made up of exhibition space. The exhibition presentation is the first of its kind in Korea among the Children’s Museums. The display method of the exhibition has been changed to convey the contents. And the use of exhibition contents was diversified by actively introducing IT technology. In addition, narrative stories and myths introduced in storytelling techniques play a role in helping parents and children communicate freely. This makes a museum where visitors become learners, not exhibits are important. It also produces and reproduces diverse opinions by encouraging active participation of visitors. It is to activate the museum and enrich the Korean folk culture. The exhibition of the Children’s Museum in the National Folk Museum of Korea is the birth of an open space museum where visitors actively participate. It also presented a model of a museum that should be newly introduced in modern society.
