Abstract

The exhibition based on the Interpretitive Theroy can not only make it easier for the audiences to understand and master the core content of the exhibition, but also help the dissemination efficiency of museum information. In 2021, due to the success of the new round of archaeological excavations, the total number of cultural relics has been further improved, and the existing venues can no longer meet the needs of cultural relics collection and exhibition. The New Sanxingdui Museum is a newly built and open “Site Class” museum in which three major exhibitions are used to explain the content of the theory. Through theoretical analysis, combined with the results of field investigation, this paper analyzed the specific application of Interpretive Theory in the New Sanxingdui Museum in detail, and found that the museum followed the idea of Interpretive Theory in general, but there were still significant problems in details, and proposed possible solutions to these problems.
