Research Abstract |
Our research focuses on museums that collect, preserve, and exhibit consumed and discarded popular culture, and we aim to clarify who determines what is "culture", and what is selected as "culture". Based on the results of our survey, we were able to determine that in case studies from France and Korea, the nation state was the standard, and choices were made from art and historical perspectives following museum guidelines, and for this, French and Korean museums ask for understanding from their guests. In Japan however we do not, or cannot, follow this tendency, and because of this problems arise. However, here we can find value creation that is aligned with popular culture.
