This paper reflects on the metamorphosis of museum forms, realities and meanings. From the perspective of museum consciousness, the author attempts to provide a useful approach to clarifying the chaos of museum conditions and the different types of museum people based on their identity and social grouping in Taiwan. Through recovering the hidden meaning represented by the existing status quo, the author points out that the museum as imagined community is based on meta-museology. Finally, the author proposes the importance of enhancing museum consciousness to effectively promote the birth and development of museum people inside and outside the professional museum field.
