Hundreds of books and thousands of pages of museum journals are available
to a person who wants to know museums , it is actually due to their various
contents and objects in the museum history of a growth of several centuries.
The traditional museums were recently defined in the concept of "A non-profit
permanent institution , in the service of society and of its development , and
open to the public , which acquires , conserves , researches , communicates and
exhibits , for the purpose of study, education and enjoyment, material evidence
of man and his environment. And the traditional museology has well extended
and reproduced this concept using the techniques of museography
But the original concept of the term museum has been derived from a
Greek word museion with meaning of 'Sanctuary of Muses , the goddesses
presiding over all learning and art. Hence , the inherent quality of the pursuit
of learning has , in one form or other, been retained by museums all over the
world as theMuses with which glorious events of the past, folk art , music
and poetry, gaiety and harmony were associated. However, the traditional
museum and museology couldn t be enough secured the originality.
Through the developing process of the traditional museum history, now we
are on the new phase to restore the original Greek museion s meanings , which
is the cultural transmission system to use a concept of 'Musealization(
=Museological Observation)" using all museographical tools. It is a
movement to go to the original places or to grope a coexistence with ecological
environments and to serve human and nature as a museological
mediator( = museum & museologist) in the society of the local community, as
Prof. Bedekar(995) gave a following concept of "New Museology, which is the
theory of the human attempts of collecting , protecting, using such evidences ,
which cannot survive in their original situation , but which are essential or
indispensable , even irreplaceable , in knowing by means of reality through his
own identity. Such evidences can be found , collected , protected , interpreted by
many alternative means , which can be invented by societires according to their
needs ." It has to be actualized through a 'museological observation( =
Musealization)’ in the field of ‘Museological Transmission' by museological
mediatod =museum & museologist). This is some new museological meanings
used in this paper'beyond the science of such traditional museums .
For the concept of the above new museological approach , 1 did a field work to
Exiled Tibetan s Cultural Reconstruction as an example of the 'Museological
Observation (= Musealization) ’ in the actual place of ‘Museolo- gical
Transmission' . And through the field work, 1 could be found that museums and
museologists as a cutural mediator can intermediates between a cutural
evidence with its ecological environments and their cultural identity using
museological approaches. Futhermore, 1 could be given 'a proposal to an 100
years far-reaching policy of Korean Museums in prudence , which can be
actualized through the adaption of the change of the traditional museum and
its museological concept into the above new museological approaches. It may
also be a strengthening way of the nation' s competitiveness using the newmuseological
professionals( =cultural mediator) for the far-reaching future.
