An object, a story and a period of history. These are not only fragments of memories and methods by which to track time, but are also important to the passing on of cultural heritage to the next generation. Collecting objects is a major responsibility of museums, which can be considered storehouses of memories. However, without investigation of or research on these objects, museums are just huge dusty warehouses. This research attempts to rebuild a context in a museum exhibition through the investigation of objects and positioning of their historical periods. This is referred to as interpretation. Determining the relationships among objects and using these relationships to create a story are significant issues in the planning and development of museum exhibitions. This paper examines the interpretation of museum exhibitions via a case study. From personal experience of planning the exhibition “The Room of Memories: Life of Centennial Taiwan,” the author discusses the processes of creating a story from scratch to eventually fill four exhibition rooms with objects related to four generations or one hundred years of history. Museum visitors want to experience artifacts or objects with true stories behind them. But, is there only one truth? Museum exhibitions normally decontextualize objects while at the same time recontextualizing them. More research needs to be conducted on the interpretation of museum exhibitions through artistic visual representation and the development of new story lines.
