Abstract
The main role of the museum was to collect, preserve, research, educate, and exhibit the physical evidence of the human environment for the purpose of research, education, and enjoyment, and the public was only an object. However, as the times changed, the museum was required to take on a new role to contain the voices of the public. The museum has become a role for social change by engaging people to determine their place in the world, educating them to achieve their potential, and contributing to reforming them in the future. Museums should be able to function as agents of social change by embracing those excluded from society (those who did not participate in cultural and leisure activities). In this study, I examined the relationship between museums and social inclusion, why social inclusion is an issue in museums at this point, and how museums are coping with the problem of social inclusion through the policies of domestic and foreign museums. Certain conditions must be met for the museum to realize social inclusion, and this study considered accessibility and diversity to be important. Based on previous studies, this study identified the form of barriers to museum access and suggested alternatives. At the same time, they emphasized the need to pursue diversity beyond multiculturalism as our society becomes increasingly pluralistic. This study mainly tried to find the implications of social inclusion in museums through the case of the UK.
