Abstract

This article examines the cases of industrial heritage museums in the Kinki region of Japan and examines how to establish the nature and role of museums utilizing industrial heritage in Korea. Just as the value of the artifacts held in a museum is considered the most important, the most important value in an industrial heritage museum lies in the industrial technology itself. To this end, an industrial archaeological approach must be accompanied by a systematic study of material evidences related to past industrial technologies. Although a building itself is an architecturally important industrial heritage, an exhibition technique that explains the most important historical values of industrial technologies, places and historical context should be used. It should move in a direction that can be exhibited along with policies, people, and social effects. Also, an exhibition that can reproduce the production and production process should be prepared so that the production process can be understood. Industrial heritage is a heritage of industrial culture with historical, technological, social, architectural or scientific value, and since it is a space used for industrial􋹲related social activities that has created memories and identities of new communities, it is closely related to modern public history. Therefore, industrial heritage museums can create a regional identity based on collective memories by constantly collecting data on local people's memories of places who share their experiences with others and categorized them into exhibitions. The core value that industrial heritage museums should aim for is to evaluate and interpret the industrial and technological historical value of industrial heritage. Furthermore, this value should be replaced with public history in the common memory of each local citizen. However, it is no exaggeration to say that the actual completion of these core tasks depends on the participation and cooperation of the local community. In particular, governance through the participation of local residents, support from local governments and cooperation with various groups of experts is the most important aspect of the management, conservation, and research strategy of industrial heritage.
