Abstract:
Museology is different from traditional theoretical research disciplines and belongs to interdisciplinary research. Based on the main functions of museums as research institutions and experience hubs, Museology research requires a combination of theory and practice, and practical achievements play a significant role in promoting theoretical development; On the other hand, in terms of the human civilization, collections in museums including various natural and human civilization witnesses, especially cultural relics, which have empirical significance in material and cultural research, it is necessary to combine interdisciplinary theories and methods. The diversity and sustainability of operations and experiences require guidance from museum science methods based on theory and practice. As a methodology of museum studies, in the trend towards the future, it is necessary to explore various aspects with an active and open attitude.
