Analysis And Reconstruction Of Museum Cognitive Experience

Museums,with the knowledge service as the basic mission,are encountering the trouble that increasing visitors "can't understand" and "have no gain" from them.Visitors are in a cognitive puzzle while getting no clear significance of experience.Such a plight is deepening the negative impression of the public on museums.In this paper,the survey and analysis were made to show the visitors' experience on the spot,which analyzed the real situations of visitors' cognitive experience in current exhibitions and summarized problems from the perspective of visitors.Besides,the cognitive issues were also dissected from two perspectives,the first was the changes of public perception demands which resulted from the equipment and Internet model changes under the influence of the information revolution,and the second was the education model presented by the exhibitions.It was found that there were two problems in visitors' inherent cognitive experience.For one thing,the "self" consciousness generated from the Information Age led to the repulsion of "rationality" and "absolute truth" from the Industrial Age.For another,the educational experience was similar to the "Kaiipob Education" model in domestic exhibitions,which was not suitable for the current visitors' needs for the cognitive service offered by museums.Combining the phenomena with the essence of problems,this paper proposed suggestions on how to improve the effective cognition of visitors and reconstruct the opinions more in line with visitors' cognitive experience demands,which was based on the information flow characteristics of the Information Age,the education model more in line with the rise of "self" consciousness,and the key elements of information design of museums.
