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.
