兒童博物館由於其強烈的觀眾取向性格，經常能意識到周遭社區的轉變並提出因應之道。本文期望以波士頓兒童博物館自1990年以來的多元文化展示與教育的實際案例，呈現兒童博物館在因應多元族群社會及種族歧視議題所做的努力及成果。 除與傳統人類學╱民族學展示交相比照外，文中運用多元文化主義與批判教學法，評析波士頓兒童博物館的文化展示，可發現其關注都市居民多元族群共存的情形，並致力打破主流大眾的族群分類觀念；在策略與手法上，則採取與兒童生活經驗貼近之主題切入，並運用角色扮演、展場環境營造等增強體驗的深度與同理心的產生。 最後，本文回到同樣呈現多元族群流動、聚散景觀的臺灣，討論在此國族認同與族群文化界線消融或再造的動態境況下，波士頓案例對國內博物館實踐多元文化教育的意義與啟發。

Children’s museums are audience-centric and have a strong social orientation, so they are affected by changes in the communities around them. Since the 1980s, Boston Children’s Museum has helped children, teenagers and families through activities and programs, which provide empowerment and deal with issues related to racial prejudice. This thesis focuses on multicultural exhibitions of Boston Children’s Museum to analyze the characteristics of cultural exhibitions in children’s museums and to compare them with those of traditional ethnographic exhibitions. Using multiculturalism and critical pedagogy, this paper explores how the cultural exhibitions of Boston Children’s Museum serve as tools to breakthrough ethnic stereotypes. Through role-playing games in environments that imitate the familiar and topics related to children’s experiences, exhibitions stimulate children’s empathy and create strong images. Exhibition examples from Boston Children’s Museum can provide inspiration to museums in Taiwan, a place where national identity and ethnic boundaries are disappearing or are being redrawn.
