Abstract The functions of a museum vary with time. In addition to its original, typical uses, in recent years its recreational function has received increasing attention as well. Museum publicists are making efforts to broaden the arena of a museum's visitors with the hope of meeting the requirement of the public and the community synchronically. Therefore, the purpose of the self-edited questionnaire in this research, which interviewed viewers who attended the series of "sentimental NSTM concerts", is to' analyze the effectiveness of museum advertising, audience contentment level, and whether or not the public accepts concerts sponsored by the museum. Objective Previous research such as "Honor the Guests-Survey on Viewers' Content Level with NSTM" by Jun-fu Huang et al (1999) and "Exploring the Promotions of Lifclong Learning Day in Southern Taiwan 2000" by Yun-ing Wang (2000) discovered the increasing importance of recreational activities for the public. Based on the two reports above, we can boldly assume that people are attracted toward recreational spots not only for pure educational purposes, but also for entertainment. Besides interacting with the community through its exhibitions, the museum also holds concerts. It expects to attract more people into the museum with other relaxing activities that will help it carry out its educational mission. Method The questionnaire method was adopted. The subjects are visitors who attended concerts during the research period. The purpose is to understand the outcome of NSTM concerts and the audience' content level. Questionnaires were handed out by convenience sampling. A pre- test was held on January 6'', 2001. Questions were revised in accordance with the statistical results. Formal surveys were conducted every Saturday afternoon from January 13" To June 30, 2001. Twenty-four surveys were conducted. Seven hundred and fifty-one questionnaires were handed out; seven hundred and twelve returned. The retrieval rate is 94.6%. There were six hundred and forty-nine valid questionnaires, which is 91.2% of the total. Results l. Over half ('63.0%) of the subjects were content with the overall performance of the concerts. 18.5% felt acceptable. Only 0.3% was dissatisfied. 2.The major reason that subjects attended the concerts was "interested in music" , taking up 30.5%, which indicates that a certain ratio of people are fond of musical activities. Therefore, "relaxing and entertaining" will be a trend for museum promotions. Furthermore, the survey shows that nearly 50.3% of the subjects hoped that the NSTM concerts are held "once a week" 3.The science museum can also have some music touch. Museums consider themselves an educational and cultural business. However, the majority of people consider visiting museums a sightseeing and relaxing behavior. Therefore, the museum must do away with its traditional image and change its looks with various promotions. A science museum can be musical too!
