博物館展示之局部更新：以台灣工業史蹟館第一期展示為例

The Partial Exhibit Renewal of Museum: An Example of the “Industrial History of Taiwan Gallery in Phase One”

博物館展示的期間雖然有長有短，但沒有一個展示能夠歷久不衰，隨著新主題內容研究的進展、新媒體科技的出現、展示空間的擴充或縮減，任何一個博物館遲早都要面臨展示更新的課題。而博物館的展示更新並不只是賦予展示廳一個新的主題內容或變更展示手法而已，更重要的是要瞭解展示更新的意涵與方法，循序漸進為展示注入新生命，讓博物館真正的脫胎換骨，可以永續經營。然而，有些展示規劃設計者在進行展示更新時，並未掌握「為何要更新」及「如何更新」概念，對於展示局部更新之方向與作法，仍有許多歧見，以致於整體作業雜亂無章，展示更新的效果堪慮。本文專注於博物館展示之局部更新研究，首先闡述展示局部更新之意涵，探討博物館展示局部更新之多種可能目的與形式，以強化吸引力，改善展示的效益，讓博物館日新又新，永保新穎與持續成長。其次論述博物館展示局部更新應有的實施步驟，從博物館展示評量之文獻研究，辨別比較各類展示評量之目的與運用時機，尤其是補救式評量觀念之闡述，及其應用於展示局部更新改善之實施。文末以台灣工業史蹟館第一期展示強化為例，敘述其展示局部更新之思考，並以觀察法及解說員訪談進行資料之蒐集，找出展示局部更新之方向，期望展示局部更新後之臺灣工業史蹟館（以下簡稱工史館），能兼具教育性與娛樂性，更符合觀眾的需求。事實上，博物館的展示沒有一勞永逸，更新是一種永不停息的品質追求。博物館必須像一個具有生命的有機體，能感知時代的脈動，與社會的需求相結合，持續的研發創新，及時局部更新，方能為博物館創造日新又新之展示效果。

Although the exhibition duration can be long or short, there is no one can last forever. By the progression of the new research on subjects, the development of the new technology, and the expanding or reducing of exhibition space, every museum will face the problem of exhibit renewal sooner or later. The exhibit renewal of museum not just characterizes a new subject or technique in the exhibition hall but also, more importantly, comprehends the insight and the meaning of exhibit renewal. It is the purpose for a museum to be reborn and substantial operation by constantly and progressively inputs of exhibitions. Unfortunately, some exhibition planners and designers do not seize the concepts of “why do we renew?” and “how do we renew?” when they renew the exhibition and their opinions about partial renewal and direction go awry. The disorganized situation may lead to unexpected results. This paper focused on the research of partial exhibit renewal of museum. Firstly, it illustrated the meaning of partial exhibit renewal and discussed the varied purposes and formations of partial exhibit renewal of museum to strengthen the attractiveness which can improve the effectiveness and made the museum constantly growing. Secondly, it discussed the implementation steps of partial exhibit renewal from literature review that must be done to compare the purpose of each exhibit evaluation and using occasion; especially, the illustration of remedial evaluation concept and the application to the partial exhibit renewal implementation. Finally, it took an example of “Industrial History of Taiwan Gallery in Phase One” to address the innovative perspectives in partial exhibit renewal and explored the renewal directions by information collected from observation and docent's interview. It was anticipated that the “Industrial History of Taiwan Gallery” after partial renewal could be both educational and entertaining, in addition, to meet visitors' demand more. Actually, it is impossible to get exhibition done once and for all. Exhibit renewal is a non-stop quality seeking work. Museum, as an organism, must keep up with social trends, meet public's demand, research and develop all the time and renew exhibit partly to create up-to-date outcome.
