台灣是個海島國家四面環海,在地理位置上離海洋非常接近,而在心理上卻是非常遙遠,對於我們周遭海洋發生的一切我們一無所知,而這座島與鯨豚一直有個深厚的故事,在台灣海域就統計了將近30幾種種類的鯨豚,將近佔了全世界80幾種的三分之一。台南的台江國家公園內有著,由成功大學海洋生物及鯨豚研究小組,成立的台江鯨豚緊急救護站,這座救護站貢獻了許多海洋生物與鯨豚專業知識的各項研究,這個區域具備了鯨豚救護的深度知識。 博物館的展示最早可追溯到15世紀,當時的博物館是皇家貴族展現權力地位的媒介,到了現在進而演變成傳遞歷史知識的核心場所。鯨豚標本的展示也從19世紀的展現人類捕鯨的光榮時期,轉變成了近代強調自然生態保育理念的傳達。博物館展示開始介入一般民眾的休閒娛樂,要求的品質也越來越高。將鯨豚歷史及保育的概念結合展示設計裡,是本研究的重要任務之一。 本研究探討,鯨豚在各個世紀中扮演的角色,進而發展成台灣鯨豚故事的標本展示館,並以分析各案例的展示手法,萃取其中展示之原則作為參考,以敘事力作為生態展示館的展示方法,套用敘事力之架構,策畫展示空間中的空間劇本,延伸出「死亡的呈現,生命的理解」之概念,探索未來鯨豚標本的展示方針。
Taiwan is an island country surrounded by the sea. It is geographically very close to the ocean, but psychologically very far away. We don’t know anything about what happens in the ocean around us, and this island has always had a profound relationship with whales and dolphins. According to the story, nearly 30 species of whales and dolphins have been counted in the waters of Taiwan, accounting for nearly one-third of the 80 species in the world. The Taijiang National Park in Tainan has the Taijiang Whale and Dolphin Emergency Rescue Station established by the Marine Biology and Whale and Dolphin Research Group of Chenggong University. The area has in-depth knowledge of cetacean rescue. The museum’s display can be traced back to the 15th century. At that time, the museum was a medium for the royal aristocracy to show their power and status, and now it has evolved into a core place for the transmission of historical knowledge. The display of cetacean specimens has also changed from the glorious period of human whaling in the 19th century to a modern emphasis on conveying the concept of natural ecological conservation. Museum exhibitions have begun to intervene in the leisure and entertainment of the general public, and the required quality has become higher and higher. Integrating the concept of cetacean history and conservation into the display design is one of the important tasks of this research. This study explores the role played by cetaceans in each century, which has developed into a specimen exhibition hall for Taiwanese cetaceans and dolphins. It analyzes the display methods of each case and extracts the principles of display as a reference, and uses narrative power as an ecological exhibition hall. The method of display, applying the framework of narrative power, planning the space script in the display space, extending the concept of "presentation of death, understanding of life", and exploring the future display strategy of cetacean specimens.
