(Background and Purpose) Since the establishment of the museum law in 1984, the number of museums in South Korea has grown rapidly due to the policy of museum cultural facilities and the continued interest of local governments. According to one analysis, the number of museums in 2007 was 360, which grew to more than 860 in 2018; and the number of museums in 2005 has increased by about 500 in 10 years. In this way, museums have continued to increase in quantity, and a social problem is emerging: many have not yet been utilized as cultural facilities. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze the exhibition structure and space for qualitative development by effective exhibition education that is appropriate for the quantitative increase of museums in South Korea.

(Results) The results of this study are as follows. First, the narrative form of the professional museums of natural history in South Korea is structured from the concept of symbolism derived from the process of transferring meaning generated by each museum's exhibition system and its shape. Second, it the formal classification system is composed of the independent picaresque plot format. Therefore, it is expected that the effect of education will be further enhanced if the acceptable information and exhibition system are provided for visitors and users.
