博物館與社區互動－－以國立科學工藝博物館為例

Interaction between Museums and the Community: A Look at How it Works at the NSTM

社區化是近年來博物館發展的趨勢，博物館為社區文教機構，其功能的發揮和社區精神文化教育的發展息息相關，加上博物館礙於經費和人力的不足，若要完善發展勢必要尋求社區資源協助，推動兩者間的互利互動成為必然的方向。因此博物館必須從蒐藏、研究、展示、教育、休閒等功能開始，進行社區化的發展，建立博物館與社區良好的互動關係。本文以國立科學工藝博物館為例，說明博物館與社區互動關係的建立。

One of the maw trends in museum operations during the past few years has been the intregration of the museum into the community around it. Museums are generallly viewed as educational institutions, and development of a museum is often closely tied to development of cultural education in its neighborhood. Thus it is essential to improve the interaction between museums and their communicites. Develoment of the museum can be hendered by Iii ted funding and personnel, however, and the museum needs to seek out resources around it that can used to help it develop as quickly and ideally as possible. The community in turn will thn profit from the services the museum will be able to provide in building a sense of identity and a culture in the community.
