Abstract
This article takes the special exhibition «Exploring the Internet of Things» that will be moved to the Macao Science Museum in 2021 as an example, and conducts quantitative analysis through the «Online to Onsite visitor behavior system» built with the exhibition, and attempts to compare the same interactive multimedia display in this exhibition. Differences in audience satisfaction, visiting behavior and learning ability between the Macao Science Museum and the National Science and Technology Museum. The results show that there is no significant difference in the satisfaction of audiences with different cultural backgrounds for interactive installations, but the part of the visiting behavior that is comprehensively expressed in the National Science and Technology Museum. is «high-level participation», while Macao Science Museum, under the public’s awareness of epidemic prevention, has reduced the level of participation. The willingness to interact only falls on the «middle-level participation». In the design of the display content and the presentation method of the display instructions, the Macao Science Museum has two units. The performance of the «correct rate» of answering or calculating questions is almost full, showing its excellent learning ability, indicating that it fully understands the scientific knowledge that this special exhibition intends to convey.With the characteristics of interactive multimedia display, the National Science and Technology Museum introduces information and communication technology, integrates the structure of the visiting behavior database into the exhibition, and proposes a virtual and real integration of intelligent museum display mode. The cloud-based online evaluation of «one exhibition, two audiences» verifies that this is a valuable combination of new thinking and practice in museology, which can be used as a reference for other museums to conduct overseas exhibitions in the future.
