摘要

近年國際間出現多項在科學展覽中加入藝術作品展出的案例，顯示科學展覽新的展覽概念與發展方向。本文以法國國立自然史博物館自2017年10月起於大演化館地下一樓的特展廳所舉辦的《隕石：天地之間》特展為個案，分析當代科學展覽加入藝術作品展出的目的、手法與意義。在研究方法上，本文從敘事研究進一步納入多重模態的觀點與分析法，以建構分析展覽的架構，並透過文獻回顧、實地參訪與策展人訪談等方法，取得研究材料。文章首先說明本文個案的科學敘事，其次加入展覽內藝術介入的說明；之後分析科學與藝術之間如何連結形成互文性，以及觀眾的接受；最後結語處則歸納這項展覽對於未來的啟示。文章旨在論述當代的科學展覽如何從傳統的理性科學知識的傳遞，轉而重視感性面的情感投注；而藝術介入的手法又如何得以勾引出科學物件潛藏的美學價值，令觀眾從另一種詩意的層面再視科學。

In recent years, there have been many science exhibitions that have included works of art, demonstrating a new exhibition concept and developmental direction. In this paper, the temporary exhibition, ＂Meteorites-Between Heaven and Earth＂ that began in October of 2017, in the Grand Gallery of Evolution at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, serves as a case study. Narrative research and integration of perspectives and multimodal approaches are applied to construct a framework for analyzing exhibitions. Through literature review, on-site interviews and discussions with the curator, research materials were obtained. The scientific narrative of this exhibition is first explained, followed by a discussion of artistic intervention in exhibitions. In addition, the linking of science and art to form intertextuality and the acceptance of the audience are explored. This paper concludes with a summary of what this exhibition reveals about the future. The aim of this paper is to discuss how contemporary science exhibitions have changed from the transmission of traditional and rational scientific knowledge to an emphasis on perceptual and emotional engagement. Moreover, the results of this study reveal how artistic intervention draws out the latent aesthetic value of scientific objects, enabling audiences to view science based on its poetic quality.
