Museum Learning Media: Analysis on the Means of Expressions of Children's Exhibitions

近来年我国博物馆纷纷开设儿童专区,或为儿童策划临时展览,然而,这类展览虽人满为患,却大都不尽人意,多有诟病。因此,提升儿童展览的质量和水平势在必行,而表达方式的科学选用一直是制约儿童展览质量提升的一大难题。本文通过国内外大量案例的考察与分析,归纳出儿童展览阐释中用于参与的体验设计、用于参与的探索设计、用于感知的符号设计和用于观察的视觉设计四种表达方式,并对四种表达方式的特征进行了反思。

Then further reflected on the features of four means of expressions and conclude in several proposals concerning the expressions of children's exhibitions.
