本文描述了展览的潜力,它历史地解决了科学和技术,以回答紧迫的当代问题。有人认为,这样的展览可以帮助公众应对科学技术变革对从母性到自我意志等用来构建我们世界的类别构成的威胁。博物馆账户可以在帮助个人重新认识他们的世界方面发挥神话般的作用。例子显示如何假设的展品处理的主题,如发酵和光学可以用来使游客检查自己的解释自然和主观分别。
The paper depicts the potential of the exhibit which addresses science and technology historically to answer urgent contemporary problems. Such exhibits can, it is argued, help the public respond to the threat posed by scientific and technological change to categories—ranging from motherhood to self-will—used to structure our world. Museum accounts can play a mythological role in helping individuals make renewed sense of their world. Examples show how hypothetical exhibits dealing with themes such as fermentation and optics can be used to enable visitors to examine their own interpretations of the natural and the subjective respectively.
