摘要 | Museums play a crucial role in addressing social issues, such as climate change, healthcare, and gender equality. Through exhibitions and educational programs, museums could raise public awareness and promote dialogue on important social issues. This article shares the experience of implementing themed guided tours that discuss social issues at the National Museum of National Science (NMNS). Unlike traditional guided tours which are designed based on exhibition context, themed guided tours break the original context and focus on selected collections related to specific issues. For instance, our LGBTQI-themed tour “Sexual Diversity in Nature” discusses the concept of gender and sexual diversity in human society by introducing various animal sexual behaviors and sex-change strategies. From the homosexual parenting behavior of penguins in the Evolution Gallery to the sex-role change of coral reef fish in the Global Ecosystem Gallery to the same-sex marriage of humans illustrated by queer arts in the special exhibition Journey into Contemporary Marriage, the tour connects scattered objects in various galleries, guiding visitors to explore relevant exhibits with new perspectives. To the NMNS, these guided tours have not only encouraged visitors to engage in social issue dialogues but also created new interactions with the audience: attracting new visitors who are interested in the topics and bringing new experiences to the regular visitors. In the presentation, we aim to share the design concept, development process, execution, and lessons learned from our experience. |
