  • Although museums of dentistry and dental museums are both museums related to dentistry, they may differ significantly in the scope and the content regarding the audiences. Museums of dentistry, which display a variety of dental instruments, materials, and photographs, help you learn about the development of dentistry and primarily attract a lot of attention from those who work in dental fields. These museums, however, don't get much attention from the general public. The dental museum, which displays everything related to teeth and dental care, can attract a lot of curiosity and attention not only by those in dental fields, but also by the general public. Dental museums should purpose public health education; they should not just be a place for looking around. This is because the experience of the dental museum has the power to engage people. Therefore, if you add educational functions to the dental museum and make it a place to learn about dental history and oral health care, it can be the institution where culture and health are combined. We need to study history to better understand which improvements we have made and also to see what we need to aim for in the future. The purpose of this study is to examine the actual way each of 28 dental museums in 7 different countries is operated by describing what I saw when I visited them. In addition, the current state of museums of dentistry in Korea is examined and the future development directions is also considered.

  • This study was to examine elementary students' expectations on informal science learning in science museums which have characteristics of free choice learning. $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ grade students in two different elementary schools in Gyeonggi province participated in the survey and 330 samples were collected. Subcategories for the survey were categorized on the basis of review of the literature about the learning outcomes from science museums. The survey instruments were developed following the idea of each subcategory from the learning in science museums and a content validity of the survey instruments was checked. The results were as follows: Generally students' had high expectations of all subcategories and developing their interests in science through science museums was confirmed the most. Moreover, expectations on learning in science museums were differences between gender and grade. Finally, it was found that grade differences of expectations on learning in science museums were affected by intrinsic motivation, and empirical activity were affecting the gender differences of those. Based on the results of study, elementary students could confirm that the science museums had the important values and possibility as a field of informal science learning. And this study implied that the science museums could enhance more educational roles of informal science learning.

  • Recently, the number of 'field-museums(F.Ms.)' in Japan has increased. Although they are very diverse, the essential commonality is that each has a field arranged as a kind of museum. In this study, we examine the 'F.M.' mainly through documents in order to understand the concept of the F.M. and the direction of further studies. Before examining the cases of F.Ms., we explore the history of the F.M. and the role of museums in order to establish the background of the development of F.Ms. The term F.M. first appeared and evolved in 1990s. It is suggested that F.Ms. are positioned on the same lines as development of museums, and that the field of museums and the field of landscaping is beginning to overlap. Concerning the role of museums, we examined the definition of museums in terms of conventional museums and regional planning. Next, the documents of 36 cases of F.Ms. are checked regarding their types and roles. Consequently, we found that while most F.Ms. cases have both the role of conventional museums and the role of regional planning, it is difficult to say that the role has some connection with the type. It seems that F.Ms. emphasize 'education' rather than 'collection', 'pleasure' and 'research', compared with conventional museums. In addition, the role of regional planning is strongly expected. In many cases, the F.M. is expected to be a method of regional management, not merely a museum. In order to use F.Ms. for regional planning and landscaping effectively, it is desirable for F.Ms. to be defined from this viewpoint. For this purpose, it is necessary to determine the extent of F.Ms. The problem is which extent to choose, geographical unity or administrative border. Hence, further comparative research is needed clarify the association between the extent and the identity in order to establish a more effective size of F.Ms.

  • This research explores the public's perceptions of the appropriateness of the use of robots in museums and galleries. Using data from an international survey of 1589 participants, the data show that the perceived appropriateness of robot implementation in museums and galleries is driven largely by perceptions of the usefulness and emotional skills of robotic technologies, and their perceived advantages compared to human employees. Additionally, the findings suggest that the general attitudes towards service robots in tourism shape the attitudes towards robots in museums and galleries in particular. Furthermore, the findings reveal that the demographic characteristics of visitors are not related to their perceptions of robots in museums and galleries.

  • Purpose: This study is a prior study for expanding the science museum's online services. Based on case studies, we propose an online service for science museums in the future. Research design, data, and methodology: This study analyzed online-based science museums services trends. The data was collected based on the cases of five national science museums. To understand the characteristics of science museum's online services, we analyzed the status of digital content provided by each science museum and the operation method of online special exhibitions. Result: The national science museums provided online services through virtual science museums, SNS, and YouTube. However, the services still imposed limitation on facilitating active learning for visitors. In the case of SNS and YouTube, it is only a one-time promotional tool. Conclusion: This study suggests the need for concrete measures to utilize the abundant content accumulated so far in actual education. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of content development incorporating new platforms.

  • The museum architecture has been developed with new social and cultural movement because of the its representative role of cultural character. After emergence of the modern museum in Korea, the function and role of the museum has been changed and developed especially after increasing role by local government. The cultural desire by the new pace of consumerism has requested museums to undergo with some changes and advancements in their function and programs. This research aims to examine the progress of museum programs in Korea even though it has sort history. The scope of the analysis is discussed the extension of existing and new national museums which could be the measurement of the direction of the policy for museum. These changes have a tendency to correspond to social and cultural demands. Based on the existing program, new programs accommodate education and services which represent the characteristic of the museums. These changes caused the extension of the existing museums and the emergence of the small museums which has special program fields and even influences to expand existing museums for sub-characters. The study for chronological changes could be useful to establish the basic guidelines of the configuration for the museum program and space in the early stages for the new construction.

  • Museums have developed various needs of the visitors and exhibits over the past two centuries. Currently, they have multiple functions of display, conservation, research and public education about artworks and cultural events. Therefore, exhibits should be displayed in various ways so that visitors can feel inter-relations with exhibits. The exhibition areas of museums should be provided with the stable lighting environment for visitors and artworks. For the study, I selected four museums, which were the Seoul Museum, the Mimesis Art Museum, the Seoul Museum of Art in Nowon and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Gwacheon, and I measured illumination levels of the selected Museums, and then, I surveyed the visitors' responses on the lighting conditions of them. According to the results, the measurements of the illumination levels in the four museums showed that the illumination levels of them were effectively controlled to display the art works. However, the illuminance levels at some areas that drew the natural light as lighting source were much higher than recommended illumination values for museum. In the mean time, the answers of questionnaires showed that the natural light were so effective to light the museums although the natural light provided some areas with high illumination levels.
