한국어 초록

박물관의 활성화와방문객이 원하는박물관교육을위한선행 시장조사를하면서， 대부분의 많은
사람들이 우리나라의 훌륭한 문화와 역사에 대뼈 자긍심을 갖고 있지 못했으며， 또한 구체적으
로 어떠한 문화가 뛰어나고 무엇이 훌륭한 것인가에 대한 지식과 확신이 부족한 조사결과를 접하
게 되었다 우리국민의 문화에 대한 관심과 이해를 높여 우리문화에 대한 긍지를 일깨우고， 질 높
은 문화생활을 할 수 있도록 기여하기 위해서는 우리나라 박물관이 그 역할과 기능을 제대로 다할
때 가능해 질 수 있다고 믿는다
그러나지금과같은열악한정부지원과체계로서는쉽지 않을것이다 박물관의 대 변혁이 없이
는 질 높은 문화의 생활화는 쉽지 않을 것이며， 박물관의 활성화를 위한 제도적 뒷받침과 문화의
산실인 박물관이 그 역할과 기능을 발휘할 수 있도록 적극적인 정부의 지원과 박물관전문인들의
적극적인 연구와헌신이 절실히 요구되는때라고생각한다
이에 따라 일찍 미국박물관협회를 만들어 박물관의 사회 봉사 교육기관으로서의 책임을 강조했
던 미국의 사례를 연구하여 우리나라 박물관정책에 도움이 될 수 있기를 기대한다.
