Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the contents which were presented in the physics exhibits of the following three museums; Seoul National Science Museum, National Science Museum and the Exploration Center. The main findings of this research were as follows: Firstly, it was found that 73.7% of the exhibits were composed of 'dynamic exhibits', 87.6% of the exhibits were 'active involvement type exhibits', 48.3% of the exhibits were 'interest induction type exhibits' and 42.8% of the physics exhibits were composed of exhibits related to optics. Secondly, it was found that many elementary students seemed to have difficulty in understanding and executing the activities in the physics exhibits.
