ABSTRACT

On the one hand, as a carrier for discussing traumatic experiences, the Trauma Memorial Museum reconstructs information and interprets events or disasters. On the other hand, the museum’s archives, public spaces, and narrative spaces serve as texts and places for the audience to reflect on history, gather emotions, and construct collective memories. This article analyzes the relationship between museum display and memory in Trauma Memorial Museum in China and South Korea with case analysis and literature research. This article compares the museums of the two countries and sorts out the elements of museum memory, the types of information sources, the ways of shaping memories and experiences, the museum display design and narrative methods, and the objects for constructing traumatic history and collective memory
