With the development of digital technology and the popularity of the Internet, revolutionary changes have taken place in the carrier and propagation speed of information. The original information carrier built on physical media is gradually replaced by virtual information carrier, which results in the speed up of information transmission and the diversification of information dissemination channels. This influence in the field of museum has been increasingly profound and the digital museum has become one of the key areas of the museum research. Museum scholars would like to take the advantage of digital museum to make up the defects of entity museum. The limitations of entity museums are gradually enlarged in today’s quickening pace of life and the change of cultural patterns and ways of thinking. Therefore, the museum research cannot be confined to the investigations of the museum itself. Museum researchers should also pay their attention to the factors affecting museum construction and development. Based on the thinking, this paper discusses the issues related to digital museum choosing the contemporary cultural ecology as the breakthrough point. This paper begins with analyzing the history of fast-food culture and its connotations and influences. The author hopes that the contemporaries’ culture demands could be understood and interpreted through the analysis of the fast-food culture. In the following parts, this paper introduces the history, definition and characteristics of digital museum as well as the advantages of digital museum under the contemporaries’ cultural demands.In addition, the author also puts forward his own opinions about the problems in the development of digital museum. The author believes that the digital museum is a new form of museum rather than a simple extension of the traditional museum. Firstly, the digital museum is with a virtual mode of existence. It is based on the digital collections, and its activities are centered on the digital platform. And secondly, the digital museum is with great openness. Its collections are open to and shared with the people through the Internet. Thirdly, the digital museum lays emphasis on the subjective feelings of visitors. Its activities are visitors-centered rather than collections-centric.The theme of the article is the digital museum. So the background of digital museum is also an important issue for its study. This article is based on the fast-food culture and regards it as a cultural pattern, but not only a social phenomenon. With the fast pace of modern life and work, people want to seek solace in the cracks of huge life pressure and mental stress. It has become an important way for people to have some leisure activities in their spare time. People used to fill their spiritual vacuum through the pursuit of material consumption, but now more and more people began to focus on the spiritual pursuit. With its rich historical and cultural heritage, especially the sense of mystery that cultural treasures generate drawing people’s attention, museum stimulates the curiosity of visitors. Because of its convenience, the digital museum accommodates the pace of modern life. It has become an important way to visit the digital museum.In the last part of this paper, the author puts forward his viewpoints about the bottlenecks in the development of digital museum. It makes some suggestions with regard to the development concept of digital museum, the lack of funds and talents and the management model. In the development of digital museum, the theory is the key to the formation of ideas. We should strengthen the theoretical construction to form a mature theoretical framework to support the development of digital museum. The lack of funds and talents is also a major obstacle restricting the development of digital museum. The government and society should increase the capital investment and strengthen the discipline construction to solve these problems. In terms of management model, we should constantly explore new patterns from the summary of practice, especially to form an institution of the maintenance of intellectual property, and improve the efficiency of management.
