The activity and function in these days are consisted of the document
collection , arrangement, research and the socia1 education by the rea1 data.
These functions are put into three parts: "collection and preservation"
research and study' and "exhibition and education'. 1 believe that "research
and study in museums are the most important function.
There is little acknow1edgement of tasks in "research and study' among
museum staffs in these days. It is unusua1 that the museum is estab1ished and
managed for the purpose of study on1y. Some of museums are focusing on the
function and ro1e of education recently.
In the near future , many museums will progress the other functions smooth1y
when they achieved a definite fie1d and contents re1ated.
In this article , 1 wou1d like to present various tria1s and products of
Gyeonggi-Do Shi1hak Museum estab1ished by the Gyeonggi Cultura1
Foundation , which recognized this problems and groped the solution p1ans
since 2004. It is hopefu1 that the Shi1hak Museum has being achieved to
collect , document, investigate and research a lot of the concerned materials at
home, China and Japan.
