국문 초록

뮤지움의 사회적 역할 중에 하나는 그들이 속해있는 지역사회의 문화유산을 지키고, 지역공동체가 뮤지움이 제공하는 프로그램들을 통해서 다양한 미적, 사회적, 문화적 체험과 관계를 맺는데 있다고 볼 수 있다. 즉 뮤지움은 지역사회에 속한 개개인이 자신의 정체성을 깨닫는데 핵심적인 역할을 하며, 그들의 삶을 풍요롭게 해 준다(Ambrose & Paine, 2001: 9).

영문 초록

The primary issues for museums of all types are cultural equity and equal access. In a multicultural society, the many museums begin to reexamine the entity we call the community. Museums are public institutions. Their mission to preserve, exhibit, and interpret these collections for the public-not some of the public, but all of the public. This study reviewed recent literatures of the role of museums as agents of social inclusion and multicultural society. The community is not only an ethnic group, a neighborhood, or the residents of a defined era. We find ourselves integrally involved with other and with many different communities simultaneously. In this regard, museums have the responsibility for coming to terms with our neighborhood community. Museums should embrace cultural diversities in terms of their operation, exhibition, program and audience development. The study represents recent paradigm for exhibition and educational program focused on cultural diversity and multiculturalism. However, more attention and consideration of multicultural programs in the museum environments should be researched and developed. Such programs can provide understanding of the environment new immigrants find themselves in and can offer them an opportunity to share their cultural identification with their neighbors. Developing the museum policy and multicultural program for the community are the best contemporary thinking, then it is about the changing role of the museums for the public in a multicultural society.
