Museums have for a long time served a non-institutionalized educational role in various spheres. There are over 80 museums on Jeju Island, including the Aerospace Museum currently under construction. Yet the meaning and roles of these museums still require more contemplation. Therefore, through an in-depth discussion on the educational role and value of museums, we hope to propose development direction and objectives for the 21st century not only for museums on Jeju Island but for those all over the nation.
